Sherborn has a Trustees reservation (Rocky Narrows) with two different
points of entry. It also contains a good chunk of Audubon's Broadmoor
wildlife sanctuary (entered via Natick) and at least 8 cemetaries (all with
stone walls) that I can think of off the top of my head.
Sudbury contains Pantry Brook State Wildlife Mgmt area and Great Meadows
Natl Wildlife refuge. I've not been to either and am not familiar with
them.
Natick also contains part of the Audubon Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary and
also has a town forest area.

Does anyone know which one of the remaining towns has the highest # of letterboxes. Or who the most prolific planter has been in these towns? I'm at work so I can't look this stuff up but it might be another way of narrowing things down. Chances are this boxer is someone we know.

I am the most prolific planter in Sudbury.

Most of those towns have historic old cemeteries surrounded all or in
part by stone walls.

Hey Blax (and all)!
Two things -
First thing:
I have just noticed a pattern in the towns that are left.
One letterboxer I know has a box in Natick - Cochituate State Park (I
Can't Carve) AND in Sudbury - near the Wayside Inn (Red Horse Tavern).
CPAScott. Just a tidbit of information that I pieced together.
Probably means nothing.
Second thing:
Blax - are you affiliated with the Sudbury Valley Land Trust? I would
be curious, because I sort of "adopted" Grey Reservation when SVLT was
going through management changes. They have finalized their changes
and are actively planted more (YAY!). Grey Reservation is ONE COOL
SPOT in an area that you would *never* think had such a place. I love
the central "feature" where the box is located!

Hi Warrior Woman,
Nope, sorry to say. No affiliation to it. Although, that'd be fun.
I've always wanted to get involved in a preservation trust or society of
some sort. I'm actually located South of Boston in Plymouth County and
in my job I see so much land being gobbled up and developed (I'm a
municipal building inspector). I have always wondered why we can't use
existing buildings more often and leave the land alone.
Now that you mentioned it though, I will have to make it a point to get
up there and see Grey Reservation.
Btw, is that Wayside Inn the one that is supposed to be haunted?
I'm voting to ask if the box is located in Shirley or Sherborn.

I love Grey Reservation too, and I live here!
However, the box is not at that central feature anymore, check the
clues. There is Sudbury Town conservation land abutting this SVT
property as well.
By the way, it is Sudbury Valley Trustees (sudburyvalleytrustees.org).
We are next door neighbors.
I was thinking that it would be a great place to have a gathering.

I did the same thing. I figured Sudbury had the most letterboxes in
it, so why not shoot for the most likely. I'm still selfishly
hoping that it's in Shirley because that's the closest to me!
