In an effort to help the Town of Wellesley be better prepared to conserve open space, the town’s Natural Resources Committee recently completed a Land Conservation Plan with maps showing currently preserved space. Building upon Wellesley’s Open Space and Recreation Plan (2022-2032), which articulates a clear community consensus that “the economic, public health, habitat, water resource and aesthetic benefits of Wellesley’s open space system will increase in importance as the Town grows and the climate changes,” the Land Conservation Plan aims to translate those values into actionable priorities through a data-driven process. Read the final Land Conservation Plan.
