The Otter Pond Protective Association (OPPA) worked closely with Ausbon Sargent on this easement to permanently protect critical wetlands and productive waterfowl habitat. The OPPA properties are part of Lake Sunapee's watershed and consist of two tracts of land, totaling two acres on Oak Ridge Road in Georges Mills. The conservation easement assures that the properties will be retained forever in their natural state. No structures are allowed. Forestry activities are permitted.
This property is abutted on the north by the Stockwell/McAllister easement, which is 1.69 acres in size. Both tracts are primarily forested wetlands and one of the tracts has frontage on Otter Pond. The Town of Sunapee Conservation Commission holds an executory interest in the conservation easement.
