The Civic League acquired ownership of Mill Hill Park from its predecessor organization (the Nantucket Improvement Association) and transferred it to Town ownership, to remain as parkland in perpetuity. More recently, the Civic League acted to preserve the roughly 100 acres of land known as “Camp Richard” from threatened development. When the regional council of the Boy Scouts, over the objection of the local troop, attempted in 2014 to sell a portion of the land to a developer, the Civic League filed suit and prevailed at trial. In July 2018, the Court ordered that the property be used exclusively as a campsite for the scouts on Nantucket or be deeded back to the NCL.
