WCT Update: Promising News about Kirkwood Farm

April 14, 2022 By Kate Etherington

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Last month, I shared with you that Kirkwood Farm — a 218-acre parcel in the heart of the Willistown countryside between Providence and Plumsock Roads surrounded by conserved lands and a critical component of an established greenway — was listed for sale. I am excited to announce that a positive outcome has been reached, and as hoped, Kirkwood Farm is now under agreement of sale with a conservation buyer. 

The buyer and family love the property and surrounding countryside, and they are excited by the opportunity to own and preserve it. I am confident that they will be great stewards of the land, dedicated to protecting the farm’s special natural and scenic resources. Over the course of the next several months, WCT hopes to engage in discussions with the buyer to collectively determine the best way to protect this treasured part of the Willistown countryside forever. 

Our community is grateful for the hard work of local conservation groups and individuals, who remain committed to the protection of this special property, and for your continued support and shared concern for the future of our natural spaces.  

Sincerely,


Kate Etherington
