Old Barn Farm Project
Support the Protection of 34 Acres in Boxford & North Andover
Greenbelt has an exciting opportunity to acquire and permanently protect 34 acres of valuable farmland, wildlife habitat, and scenic open space in the towns of Boxford and North Andover. The Old Barn Farm property would conserve nearly one-third of the remaining unprotected land at historic Barker Farm.
