"The Earth is common ground... Gradually, the idea is taking form that one generation is to some extent responsible for the next." -E.B. White, author of Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little
Today, in Massachusetts, land is being bought and developed at an uprecedented pace. Hundreds of acres of rural landscape are lost to development every week.
West Boylston, like so many other Massachusetts towns, has experienced growth in recent years and with completion of the sewer project many more acres may become available for building and development.
Although the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) owns a large amount of open space surrounding the Wachusett Reservoir, its land is very restricted and is mostly unavailable for general recreation use.
Our natural settings - forests, fields, uplands, and wetlands - play an important role in what we define as community character. If we are to retain the unique and special character of West Boylston, we must take action before it is lost.
