JONES HILL CONNECTOR ACQUISITION COMPLETED

In July 2025 the Town of Ashby took ownership of the 106-acre Jones Hill Connector parcel, which was purchased with funding provided by the U.S. Forest Service Forest Legacy Program (FLP) based on an application prepared by the Ashby Land Trust. A deed restriction limits the use of the property to forestry and conservation.
