Town of Ashland Acquires UCC Land
Congratulations to the Town of Ashland!
On Friday, January 24, the Town acquired the 53-acre UCC Property along Winter Street. This land is rich with healthy wildlife habitats and, together with the adjacent Ashland Town Forest, is part of one of the most intact natural areas in Ashland.
SVT has been collaborating on this project and will soon hold a conservation restriction on the property.
Town voters approved the purchase during a Special Town Meeting in November, and the project also received support from the Commonwealth through a Forest Reserves Grant.
The conservation of these 53 acres will extend the existing Ashland Town Forest/SVT Cowassock Woods Conservation Area to create more than 700 contiguous acres of protected land.
