Hale’s Conservation Restrictions: Nearing the Finish Line

If all goes as hoped and expected, by the end of this June, a conservation goal which Hale Education (Hale) has had in its sights for decades will finally come to fruition with two conservation restrictions (CRs) that permanently protect approximately 1,100 acres of Hale’s land in Westwood and Dover. That equates to 95 percent of Hale’s property being protected from development. If approved by the state, the two CRs will result in the largest tract of contiguous, privately owned land to be protected in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in many decades.
