Purpose - Strategic planning in hopes of acquiring other properties. The land trust became interested in the property and accepted the property as part of our mission to preserve the rural character of the Town of Burrillville. Using land as a buffer to maintain clean water for residents and all life around us, is part of the land trust’s community responsibilities. In the past, there was great pressure to develop this property along with other properties next to Wallum Lake. The Burrillville Land Trust is grateful for the opportunity to acquire this property and remove forever the development pressure for the town and the local residents.
