The Town Forest is a little safer today;Article 19 is approved!


Thank you Town Meeting Members!
On Tuesday May 20th, Town Meeting voted to correct the deeds of 3 parcels, totalling about 29 acres to read "Public Domain/ Town Forest". This means a 2/3 vote at Town Meeting is required to change the use of these parcels from Town Forest.
The Holbrook Town Forest has 115 acres, and is 12 parcels.Five parcels were already deeded "Conservation" which means they are the most protected, and require both a vote at town meeting and the state legislature. With the three added last night that leaves 4 parcels to go. Our thanks go to all those who helped make this happen, and continue to support and work for this local treasure.
