Join us on June 19th at 9am to clean up the Fitchburg Town Pound!

Built in the 1700s, town pounds were typically a pen in central areas of a town to hold stray animals that got loose from one household so that they couldn’t damage the crops of other members of the community. These structures usually consisted of four low walls either of fieldstone or of rough-cut granite.  The Fitchburg Town Pound was built in 1798 and was conserved by North County Land Trust.  The town pound has been taken care of and cleaned of debris annually by volunteer, Phil Jordan, for many years, and now it is time to hand over the reigns to other volunteers.

Join us to clear out brush and leaves from the town pound and bring them up to the woods behind the area.  We will provide tools and snacks! See you there!
