Celebrate the Grand Opening of the Jones Brook/Payne Conservation Easement with MMRG and the Milton Conservation Commission! We’ll kick off the morning with a brief welcome and acknowledgment of this newly protected 23‑acre property in Milton—home to high‑value freshwater wetlands, forested habitat, and the confluence of Jones Brook and the Branch River. Enjoy donuts as we mark the official opening, then join the knowledgeable Tom Eid of Tom Hikes NE for a guided wetlands walk exploring the site’s rich ecology.

Conserved in 2025 and now permanently protected, the Jones Brook/Payne property connects to more than 4,000 acres of nearby conserved lands and supports native brook trout, diverse wildlife, and excellent opportunities for passive recreation. Come experience this special place firsthand and help us celebrate its future.

This is a free community event!
