Spector CR
The Lenox Land Trust is pleased to announce the the consevation of 30 acres of open space in the Town of Lenox through a grant by Jesse and Patty Spector. The parcel has frontage on Hubbard street in Lenox (Assessor’s Map, 113, lot 27), and encompasses a diverse and wild habitat that is part of an area previously designated by the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs as an “area representing high priority for protection” (BioMap, EOEA, 2001).
By granting the Conservation Restriction to the stewardship of the Lenox Land Trust, the Spector’s have effectively restricted development of the land for perpetuity, ensuring that the local environment will continue to benefit from the unique natural resources that have been preserved and the scenic beauty of the area.
“The Town of Lenox is facing significant development pressures on all fronts,” said Land Trust President, Kevin Sprague, “although there is universal agreement that the greatest single economic resource of the town is its well-preserved rural beauty and diverse landscape, there are many who would destroy that beauty for their own short-term benefit. The willingness of people like Jesse and Patty to step forward and commit to saving the landscape is an altruistic act that will benefit all of us over the long term.”
The Lenox Land Trust is focused on preserving open space in Lenox. The Lenox Land Trust believes that it is imperative to preserve and maintain the rural New England character of Lenox and the surrounding area for present and future generations by acquiring by gift or purchase whole or partial interests in natural scenic, open and rural lands in Lenox and environs.
