Background

The 2023 Update of the Stow's Open Space and Recreation Plan is now complete. The update of the Plan was completed by the Conservation Department and Recreation Department, with assistance from a working group made up of interested Stow residents, and the technical support of the Planning Department and Open Space Committee. The plan is formatted according to specifications of the Massachusetts Division of Conservation Services, and maintains the town’s eligibility for state grants for both open space and recreation purposes through 2030.  

A limited number of printed copies of the Plan are available in the Conservation Commission office by request.
