The Freeport Conservation Trust as well as other conservation minded people were able to preserve nearly 100 acres from being turned into a subdivision back in the mid 1990's. In fact if you walk into the woods, you can still see surveying tape on some of the trees. My wife and I owned a lot on Bliss Woods way several years ago. We sold it to a couple who used Michael Welsher as their builder. It is one of the most attractive new homes in Freeport.
Across the street from Bliss Woods is one of my favorite farms owned by Olins and Beal. They own 36 acres of lovely pastureland. Although it technically isn't in conservation, 21 acres is in a "farmland" classification while the remaining 13 acres is in "tree growth". Tree growth classification is a way you can reduce your property taxes. The South Freeport community and visitors from away benefit hugely from having this buccolic open space.
