Spring Pond Reservation

The areas around Spring Pond in Lynn, Peabody and Salem, Ma including a historic estate by the pond has significant historic and environmental importance.

It is in the interest of many to have these areas designated as Spring Pond Reservation, and create a Neighborhood Conservation District for the existing developments which have encroached around the pond and on the old estate, by ending further massing of new development.

Efforts to reach this goal:

• There is an application in process to nominate this area as a Massachusetts’ Most Endangered Historic Resource, and then continue the nomination as a National Endangered Historic Site.

• An application is in quest to nominate the area as an Important Bird Site, with the Massachusetts Audubon Society.

• Take photos with "This Place Matters" campaign

• Action letters to preserve Spring Pond:  letters 1, 2, 3  

• Petition to stop developments from immediate threat: www.springpondwoods.com/p/petition.html
