Life on a Conserved Property
We are privileged to meet many landowners who have a deep and abiding understanding of the land they have stewarded for years. The more time one can spend living and watching the cycles of nature in one particular place, the greater awareness you gain. Over the years that Ann and John Hanscom have owned their Uxbridge property, Ann has used her observations to write articles, essays, and poetry as well as photograph their farm. Here are some of the essays Ann has offered to Metacomet about Foxfire Farm and the world around us.
