401 <br /> G <br /> Mr. Rodney C. Collins February 27,2019 <br /> Mashpee Town Manager <br /> 16 Great Neck Road North <br /> Mashpee MA 0264.9 <br /> RE: Conservation Restriction to The Trustees of Reservations,Inc. <br /> Dear Mr. Collins, <br /> on behalf of the Native Land Conservancy, Inc. and The Trustees of Reservations, Inc. please find <br /> enclosed a final copy of this conservation restriction (CR)for the Selectmen's approval under MGL Ch. <br /> 184,s. 31-33. As you may know,this approval is necessary so that the CR can be recorded in perpetuity. <br /> The Division of Conservation Services,on behalf of the Secretary of Enemy and Environmental Affairs, <br /> and the Mashpee Conservation Commission have both previously reviewed this document. You will find <br /> the ConCom recommendation attached. <br /> A very generous family will soon be donating title to the three small islands in Wakeby Pond to the <br /> Native Land Conservancy for conservation and passive recreation purposes. Though unbuildable, under <br /> our ownership we will provide respectful public access to the islands. We are very pleased to be in <br /> partnership with The Trustees of Reservations,which has preserved the beautiful Lowell Molly <br /> Reservation on Conaumet Point between Wakeby and Mashpee Ponds. The Trustees also preserve long <br /> stretches of the Mashpee River. In this case,The Trustees will hold the CR and help us to guarantee <br /> permanent protection of the islands. <br /> The non-profit Native Land Conservancy was founded in 2012 to acquire and preserve natural areas in <br /> Eastern Massachusetts for conservation. We currently own small parcels in Barnstable and Sandwich. <br /> The Trustees was founded in 1891 and is the oldest non-profit land trust in America. They own <br /> museum-quality landscapes throughout Massachusetts. <br /> Thank you for your assistance. Please let me know when the Selectmen can put this on their agenda for <br /> their vote. We will appear at that time and answer any questions that the board may have. We will also <br /> bring the Conservation Restriction to the Selectmen's meeting in hopes that they can sign it that night. <br /> In Thanksgiving, <br /> Ramona L. Peters <br /> Founder/President <br /> cc: R.Warren,The Trustees <br /> enc. <br /> Native Land Conservancy, Inc. P. o.
