Save Essex Landscape (SEL), a nonprofit organization, was created by Essex residents in early 2021. SEL was established to give voice to our community, to bring awareness to issues affecting our neighborhoods and landscape, and to inspire participation in town government.
The Allyn Cox Reservation
The Allyn Cox Reservation, one of several preservations maintained by the Essex County Greenbelt, is a veritable natural playground. It is also located directly across the street from the proposed cell tower and storage unit on Eastern Avenue.
This reservation is home to the Greenbelt's main offices. Many events take place here throughout the year for nature lovers, artists, and families of all ages. It is open to the public year round and has walking trails and river access for expanded access to the Great Marsh.
This property (donated to the Greenbelt by the noted muralist Allyn Cox in 1974) is a true gift for all who visit. Please help us in preserving the unparalleled views of this property.
