The Ann Volante Conservation Area is a roughly 25-acre wooded parcel near the Newman School area that the town received in 1991 out of the former Standish Road Field, part of a larger block of contiguous open space west of I-95 that also includes Ridge Hill Reservation and the Newman School's Eastman Conservation Study Area.
