In addition to hunting and fishing, protection of this property will ensure the long-term use of the area by recreationists—notably snowmobilers and cross- country skiers. Conservation will also support continued public access to a number of hiking trails, especially a 2.5-mile section of the 17-mile Crawford- Ridgepole Trail that runs the length of the bordering Squam Range. Status The Conservation Fund used our Working Forest Fund to purchase the Beebe River tract in May 2014 as part of a 30,000 acre acquisition in four states in the Northern Forest. This literally buys time we need to craft a conservation outcome with federal, state and local partners. Working at the landscape scale in partnership with the Squam Lakes Conservation Society, the Fund will seek funding to place the Beebe River land and adjoining properties under conservation easement. The Fund will sustainably manage the property until it can be permanently protected. | www.conservationfund.org 1655 North Fort Myer Drive, Suite 1300, Arlington, VA 22209 phone: 703.525.6300 fax: 703.525.4610 The Conservation Fund, working with public, private and nonprofit partners, protects America’s legacy of land and water resources through land acquisition, sustainable community and economic development, and leadership training, emphasizing the integration of economic and environmental goals.

On June 14, 1820, the legislature passed another act to change the name to West Newbury. About the cover…. The Town Seal, at the top of the center of the seal is a small shield with the words “E Tribus Unum” meaning, 3 from 1, (Three towns: Newbury, Newburyport and West Newbury derived from one town, the Town of Newbury).
