It's official!  Mt. Watatic is now owned by the State of Massachusetts (DEM and Division of Fisheries and Wildlife) and the Ashby Land Trust and the Ashburnham Conservation Trust.  The purchase was completed in Worcester, MA at 1:30pm July 10, 2002. This will prevent the placement of an obtrusive cell tower on the summit.

The Ashby Land Trust and the Ashburnham Conservation Trust have raised the necessary funds to pay their part of the purchase of Mt. Watatic.There is going to be a some kind of marker with the names of those who gave $1000 or more.  

Great News.....Thanks to all those who helped. And good for the state to finally act on preserving this wonderful resource.
