How did Middlesex acquire the Town Forest? Thanks to an effort led by the Vermont Land Trust, the town bought the 403-acre property from Cynthia Steed and Eleanor Ott in January 2009. The $324,000 purchase was funded by the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board ($271,000), the Vermont River Conservancy ($6,000), the Middlesex Conservation Fund ($18,610), and more than 90 private donors ($28,153).
