As Lincoln residents who have served over the years as trustees of Farrington Nature Linc, we five fully support the proposed Nature Link project, and we ask you to join us in voting “yes” on both Articles 3 and 4 at Special Town Meeting this Wednesday evening.
The access road included in the overlay zoning in Article 3 provides Farrington a unique and long-sought-after safety alternative to Route 2 for on-site nature programs for children.
The conservation plan in Article 4 will ensure that Farrington Nature Linc can afford to stay in Lincoln for decades to come and continue to serve children from low-income communities.
This public and private collaboration that each of us has seen develop over the years gives Farrington value for the property it has stewarded here since 1909, enhances safety of its extraordinary programs in service of children and community, and maintains a surrounding of the natural world so important for all children to experience.
Many of you know at least one of us personally, and you know we ask for your support responsibly and respectfully. Please join us at Special Town Meeting (beginning 6:30pm June 25) and, with us, vote “yes” on both Nature Link Articles 3 and 4.
Sincerely,
Sandra Bradlee, Hemlock Circle
