Kezar River South Project
About the Kezar River South Project
GLLT has a unique opportunity to protect an additional 1,350+ acres along the Kezar River Corridor in both Lovell and Sweden that would abut the Kezar Corridor Lands to the south. Completing this project would create an over 2,600 acre preserve owned and managed by GLLT, and would result in an over 3,200 acre contiguous block of conserved lands. Protecting this property would result in over 3,600 acres of conserved land along the Kezar River Corridor between Five Kezar Ponds in Stoneham and Mill Pond in Lovell Village.
The property features a large suite of conservation values and public benefits including:
4.5 miles of frontage on both sides of the Kezar River that will be protected
Protection of 4 small ponds with beaver activity, at least 105 acres of scrub-shrub wetland along the river corridor, and 8 acres of emergent wetlands
Serving as traditional hunting grounds with the Kezar River being renowned by local anglers for its brook trout fishery. The KRS property also contains important stretches of ATV and snowmobile trails, which run over old woods roads
