The Town of Grantham completed the purchase of the 385-acre Sawyer Brook Headwaters Property and transfer of a conservation easement to the Ausbon Sargent Land Preservation Trust. The Town appropriated $250,000 toward the acquisition at its 2019 Town Meeting, while Ausbon Sargent worked to secure the remaining funds needed for this $515,000 project. A $215,000 grant from the NH Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) and a $24,000 grant from the NH State Conservation Committee’s Moose Plate Grant Program were vital to this true community effort that has resulted in the preservation of one of the region’s most special places.
