Exciting work is happening at Olsen Barn Meadow in Chester! After many years of planning and fundraising, FRLT will be working with contractors to make several improvements at the preserve. Plans for this summer include improving accessibility in the parking area and making repairs to the historic Olsen Barn.

Please be mindful of construction equipment in the parking area. We will update you if there are any changes to property access.
