The Seven Lakes Alliance seeks to raise $3 million to purchase the property.
(Joe Phelan/Staff Photographer)A regional land trust and conservation organization raising funds to purchase the nearly 300-acre Camp Bomazeen Boy Scout camp describes the move as a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
Seven Lakes Alliance officials warn if they can’t raise the money within the next two months, it would be a highly desirable site for private development.
Seven Lakes Alliance officials say their vision for Camp Bomazeen is to conserve it while honoring its historical uses while minimizing the impact on Great Pond.
