Peg Carroll along with Nancy and Kit Tatum worked together to preserve a spectacular view of Lake Sunapee and Mt. Sunapee from Burpee Hill Road, New London. Peg Carroll began to think about land protection after talking with her neighbor, Eunice Bohanon who was the first landowner to donate a conservation easement to Ausbon Sargent. The Bohanon easement was also the catalyst for the Bessie Phillips (see maps #13 & #14) and the Stanley Farm Association easements.

Clark Lookout emerges as a stunning surprise at the end of a grassy woods road lined by stonewalls and large, older hardwoods and giant white pines. As Syd himself describes the hike into the lookout, "You go up and up and then turn that last corner and –wow! There’s the view." Syd has named the viewpoint for his grandfather, James E. Clark, who discovered this special place when clearing and creating over 4.5 miles of carriage roads on his 110-acre estate between Herrick Cove, Route 11 and Route 103A as a hobby.

When Clayton Nowell decided to conserve his 28-acre farm in N.Wilmot, friends and neighbors were happy to contribute toward the fundraising goals.  Clayton is a well-respected, longtime member of the Wilmot community.  His wonderful property has been farmed, used for maple sugaring, and managed for timber production since the late 1950’s.  Protecting this property meant protecting the scenic views along the well-traveled Grafton Road as well as the open fields, prime agricultural and forestry soils, and Walker Brook which runs along the southern border.  This property would, otherwise, be a

This 33.21 acre easement donated by Don and Lorraine Cline is an important link between two other Ausbon Sargent protected properties, the Broshek and Barclin conservation easements, that it lies between. The Clines have been very community-minded in working with their neighbors to double the acres of conserved land on the north side of Shaw Hill Road. They've made their land available to the public for walking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing and nature observation. The property is primarily undeveloped forestland with frontage on Raccoon Hill Road.

About 100 years ago William R. Cordingley and his family began a love affair with the area of SooNipi Park Lodge, so much so that in 1913 they bought the nearby Currier Farm renaming it the "Meadowlands." Part of the land so cherished by the family was the Putnam Parcel, a 13 acre tract located on the south side of SooNipi Park Road off Route 103A in New London and sloping down to King Hill Brook on the eastern shores of Lake Sunapee.

This 317-acre property straddles the town line of Warner (201 acres) and Webster (116) and contains an extensive wetland flowing from Mud Pond to Schoodac Brook, as well as a rocky upland forest.

The ASLPT in partnership with The Nature Conservancy completed Phase 3 of the Courser Project with the recent signing of 3 separate conservation easements with the four Courser siblings—adding another 440 acres to the previously protected 455 acres of Phase 1 and 2. Phase 4 remains to complete the total project of 1,250 acres.

Owners Priscilla Drake and Deborah Cross have added another 6.6 acres next to the Main Street Meadow easement. A total of 12.2 acres on the southern end of Main Street will now remain as undeveloped, mowed meadowland - affording passersby beautiful views of King Ridge and the western hills.

By granting a conservation easement on two acres of land, Chris and Janice Cundey made 42 more acres more accessible for public recreation. Their gift of 2 acres north of Little Sunapee Road not only further protects the scenic view from the road and the Little Lake Sunapee watershed it also abuts the 42 acres of the Parkhurst/Sjostrom easement. The location of these 2.08 acres gives the public safe off-road parking and hiking access to all these protected lands from the road. Under the easement, Ausbon Sargent has the right to develop and improve a trail network on both properties.
