The Medford-Brooks Estate Land Trust introduces a new lecture series with the program, “Medford’s Brooks Estate: A Gift from the Past, a Legacy for the Future,” an illustrated talk by M-BELT president Tom Lincoln. The Brooks Estate is 50 acres of conservation land, graced by Brooks Pond, wooded walking trails, and the historic Shepherd Brooks Manor and Carriage House. Owned by the residents of Medford since 1942 and permanently protected in 1998, the property is located on the northwest corner of the city. The site is an environmental and historic gem for both wildlife and human visitors. M-BELT is the community organization focused solely on the protection and restoration of the property. Learn about the site’s history and ecology as well as ongoing efforts by M-BELT on its behalf.
