Camp Lion declares to maintain wild woodland

The 'Lynn Lions (Camp Lion) Story' shares many important facts.  In one of these facts, the Articles of Organization for Camp Lion of Lynn, Mass, Inc., a non-profit organization, registered with The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, states:

• "to maintain a tract or tracts of wild woodland for the purpose of providing ample opportunity for recreation in the open air;"

According to a state map source OLIVER, Camp Lion is mapped as a Non-profit Open Space, under Conservation/ Recreation layer.  


However, in current day, the camp ground is under a purchase and sale agreement to turn a portion of the land into retail stores for Lowe's and a Super Wal-mart expansion.  Both retail stores will need to acquire wild wooded area and blast the ledge, in proximity to wetlands that reach Spring Pond, the City of Peabody's water supply.
