(November Special Town Meeting 2007 Article 4D)
This purchase of approximately 3 acres identified on Assessors’ Plan 1086 as Plot 29 increases the Town’s ability to protect Cedar Swamp, the unique natural resource of now more than 81 acres located behind parcels on Washington Street, Plain Street, Grove Circle and Alida Road. Atlantic White Cedar, for which this area has been named, are generally found only along a narrow coastal band and have become increasingly rare over the last century as many were lost to development.
