Vote for Conservation @ Annual Town Meeting
/in News /by David OutmanPlease come out and vote for conservation at Annual Town Meeting this Saturday, May 4, 2019, 9:00 A.M. at the Bromfield School. HCT is partnering with Town Conservation Commission in an effort to purchase a 23-acre parcel off of Willard Lane. Your help is needed to be sure Article 22, item 4 and Article 26, item 6 are acted upon favorably at town meeting, which is a critical next step in allowing the project to move forward. If approved, these two votes would result in the allocation of $200,000 to be used for the purchase of ~18-acres of important conservation and recreation land. For more information and a map of the project, please follow the links below. Thank you for supporting land conservation in Harvard!

/in Events /by David OutmanHelp us eradicate garlic mustard from the woods at HCT’s Muller conservation area on Littleton County Road (meet at the pull-off between numbers 74 and 82). The Muller land is an area of distinct ecological importance, removing garlic mustard helps to protect soil microbial processes and native plant diversity. Two sessions are planned, Saturday April 27th from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and Sunday April 28th from 1:00 to 3:00 PM; bags and gloves provided. Let us know if you if you plan to join one or both by sending an email to, info@harvardconservationtrust.org, with the subject line “garlic mustard pull.”
