The acquisition is the latest in the Land Trust’s efforts to preserve the rural character and scenic beauty of Tiverton. The Durfee Property is part of the Pocasset Ridge, an oak-hickory forest which overlooks Nanaquaket Pond to the west. The terrain of Pocasset Ridge is marked by a prominent granitic, north-south ridge line that is visible at various points along Main Road. Durfee family members Peg and her late husband Roy led several years of discussions with the Land Trust in support of the transfer.
