Latest Acquisition - DCLT adds 6 acres to Tufts Branch Valley Wildlife Sanctuary


On March 22, 2010 the DCLT added 6 acres to the Tufts Branch Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. The parcel is just west of the knoll. See map and photo below. Now another six acres of varied habitat is protected in perpetuity. The land includes mature forest, red maple swamp, early successional shrubs and a stream. Because the opportunity for this purchase came up suddenly at the favorable rate of $5,000, the board of directors voted to go forward with the transaction prior to fundraising.  Donations for this fortuitous acquisition may be sent to DCLT at P.O. Box 14, Dudley, MA 01571, referencing “Parcel M.”
