Celebrating a Century of Conservation

Since 1924 we have been dedicated to the preservation of Newtown’s open spaces and natural beauty. With over 1,400 acres of eternally protected land, we are now celebrating a century of stewarding one of our community’s greatest assets. We’re excited to share our new website with you as we pass this historic milestone in our organization’s history.

Protect Deep Brook Farm

Help us save 63 acres of pastoral open space!

This parcel has the potential for high-density development in the borough, which will be followed by the permanent loss of multiple nearby dirt roads, increased impact on the nearby Deep Brook watershed, and an increase in education and other tax burdens for Newtown residents. Preservation of the Deep Brook Farm under the NFA will mitigate all of these potential outcomes. We’re calling on you to help make this happen.

To continue to preserve the rural character of Newtown for generations to come we are collecting donations from local residents who support the preservation of this wildlife habitat and desire to expand the surrounding green corridor of open spaces. If we are able to raise the funds to purchase the Deep Brook Farm, this land will never be developed; it will remain protected open space with public access in perpetuity. 

Become a Member Today!

We are a private 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We do not receive public funding from the town of Newtown or any other source. We rely on the support of our members and donors to help us preserve our protected lands in perpetuity.
