A good reason why my family choose to place the Ramblin' Vewe Farm under Belknap Trust umbrella.

The old Phil Roux property on top of Cotton Hill Road was also willed not to be subdivided, but scrupulous lawyers did exactly that!
This is a great point about LRCT and other land trusts. What the Girl Scouts are doing is just disgusting, so obviously outside of the donor's intention. If you want to donate land, you really need to get a land trust involved
