The City closed on the purchase of a 20-acre property on Reservoir Road — called the Talon Trust property. With this purchase, the City is able to preserve the rural feeling of Reservoir Road, keep the ecological and trail connection between the Saw Mill Hills/Robert’s Hill Conservation area, Reservoir Road, and the reservoir itself.

The trails on the property will be managed by the Leeds Civic Association (LCA) and may be marked as the LCA decides. Sometime over the summer, the City will install a Saw Mill Hills Conservation Area sign and a Robert’s Hill sign on Reservoir Road. (Roberts Hill is one hill within the Saw Mill Hills. The official name of the conservation area is Saw Mill Hills, with the northerly section being the Roberts Hill section.)
