Property Description & History

The 15-Acre Creed property on Orchard Street is a beautiful, expansive property providing both high-quality habitat and a stretch of intact marsh and upland critically important for climate change resiliency as sea levels rise. There are many native plants on the land.

This property is not yet ready for visitors from the public, although future plans are for a new Greenbelt reservation with a footpath passing through open fields and leading to a scenic overlook of the Parker River.

Conservation of this land adds to 66 nearby acres Greenbelt has already preserved.

Conservation History

Private fundraising supported the conservation of this property, and preserves the historic, scenic landscape of this part of Byfield – scenery that has remained largely unchanged for well over a century.

Greenbelt will manage the land for conservation and passive recreational purposes.
