Working with the Hillsborough Conservation Commission and the landowner, Five Rivers Conservation Trust became an executory interest holder of this attractive, 67-acre property near Hillsborough Center.  The Conservation Commission holds the primary conservation easement, donated to the town by Olivia St. John Smith in 2008. 

 

This acreage, along North Road, has a wonderful mix of forest, fields, and wetlands.  Of particular note is the property’s large wetlands, a beaver pond complex that exhibits extensive plant and wildlife diversity.  This wetlands and forest is blessed with a host of wildlife that, in addition to beaver, include moose, bobcat, deer, bear, turtles, porcupine, and many species of birds.
