Tiverton helps preserve 50 acres of north-end farmland

A deal was recently reached between the Hicks family and the Tiverton Open Space Commission and Tiverton Land Trust, and a conservation restriction will preserve 48.8 acres of the 83-acre property. The conservation easement will allow the land to be kept in its natural state and could be used for passive recreation in the future, as the land trust and open space commission plan to develop walking trails in the area.
