Sudbury Valley TrusteesConservation, Collaboration, and Community since 1953

SVT is extremely grateful to Andre and Christine Navez of Hopkinton for their donation of a conservation restriction (CR) on their home property.  The six acres that are now permanently protected through the CR are part of what was a much larger parcel: in 1991 Mr. Navez donated 42 acres to the state, which was added to the 2,600 Upton State Forest and is managed as a wildlife preserve. This new CR provides a buffer to important habitat in the wildlife preserve and also protects important agricultural and forest soils. The Navezes have been  excellent stewards of the land, tending gardens and orchards and pasturing heirloom sheep, and we wish them continued enjoyment of the land for many years to come!
