The Concord Rod & Gun Club and the Concord Land Conservation Trust invite you — members of both organizations, Concord residents, neighbors, and friends — to an evening of conversation, information, and action. Learn about the Land Trust's campaign to conserve the Spencer Brook Corridor and how we can join forces to help save nearly 30 acres of woods, wetlands, and trails immediately adjacent to the CRGC from development—forever.

Reception: 6:00 - 6:30 PM Beer and wine served and hors d'oeuvres

CLCT Presentation and Q/A: 6:30 -7:30 PM

We have a unique opportunity to help protect this land, and we need to move fast! Sportsmen and women have a long history of participating in conservation initiatives, and this partnership between the Concord Land Conservation Trust and the club benefits all involved. We hope club members will donate to help raise the necessary funds, if they are so moved.

Join Us to Protect the Spencer Brook Corridor!
Let’s keep this land wild, walkable, and protected—forever.

The Land Trust is currently working to purchase and permanently preserve the Spencer Brook Corridor by mid-January 2026. The challenge is significant: $2.8 million in private donations must be raised to cover the $2.5 million purchase price plus $300,000 to build a boardwalk that will connect an existing trail network.

For over 40 years, the Land Trust has been protecting land in the Spencer Brook valley, conserving 179 acres and creating 6.8 miles of publicly accessible trails. This new opportunity presents a chance to preserve a missing link: 30 acres, including an existing trail that will connect the Land Trust’s Newbury Field to the north with its Hallenbeck Land to the south. A planned boardwalk will offer sweeping views of the brook and its floodplain, while a trail easement along Macone Farm Lane provides direct neighborhood access from Strawberry Hill Road.

This is a rare chance to complete a key link in a growing conservation corridor, and it can only be preserved with everyone's help.
