The Ausbon Sargent Land Preservation Trust, as a member of the Stoney Brook Conservation Alliance, is asking for your consideration. You have an opportunity to help keep our water clean and link important conservation areas by contributing to the Stoney Brook Project comprising 145 acres off of Chalk Pond Road in Newbury.

Your contribution would protect the clean water in Chalk Pond, Blodgett Brook, Lake Sunapee, Ring Brook, Andrew Brook, and Lake Todd. It would help ensure habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, including species like bear and moose with large home ranges. It would also protect the SRK Greenway’s 50′ trail corridor and provide for a new recreational loop trail off the Greenway to highlight remnants of the agricultural history found on the property.

To date, $263,000 has been raised for the project, but we still need $28,000 by November 30 to complete this task. Checks may be made payable to Ausbon Sargent – Stoney Brook and mailed to PO Box 2040, New London 03257. You can find more information and view a map of the area at AusbonSargent.org/new-projects.
