A new parking area and trailhead have just been completed at this beautiful new Land Bank property. The property is located on the right side of the Polpis Road heading out, just past the Folger Marsh and Lifesaving Museum. Follow the long driveway up and take your first right to the parking area. The trail heads off into the Middle Moors and connects with dirt roads and Nantucket Conservation Foundation properties.

Consue Springs/Gaillard Property
The Land Bank has initiated a marshland restoration project in partnership with the Town and Nantucket Conservation Foundation at Consue Springs. Through these joint efforts, invasive species (Phragmites and Japanese Knotweed) are slowly being removed from the property. The process is expected to take at least five years, with the goal of opening up the scenic views of the harbor for the public to enjoy.
For more detailed information on the project, email resource@nantucketlandbank.org.

Ferreira Property - 70 Miacomet Road
On June 29, 2011 the Land Bank successfully completed the acquisition of a 25 acre parcel of land located at 70 Miacomet Road. Mr. Andrew Ferreira and the Land Bank started discussions over ten years ago. Andrew grew up on Nantucket and wanted to see the bulk of his family’s land protected. He retained a pair of two acre lots for his family and sold the remaining 25 acres to the Land Bank for $6 million. The property is heavily wooded with scrub oak and pine trees, and abuts an additional 7.6 acres of Land Bank property creating a larger tract of preserved land. The property is located directly across the street from Miacomet Pond and conservation of this property will help to protect the pond’s water quality over the long-term.
