\"\"<\/a>On May 29, 2012, W.D. Cowls proudly joined Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, representatives of the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game, the Kestrel Land Trust, Smokey Bear, and the USDA Forest Service to dedicate the Paul C. Jones Working Forest, thereby creating the largest contiguous, privately owned block of permanently conserved forest land in the history of the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n

The project protects in perpetuity 3,486 acres of working forest on and around Brushy Mountain in Leverett and Shutesbury, Massachusetts. It was named in honor of the late Paul C Jones, the 8th generation leader of W.D. Cowls. Read more<\/a> about the process.<\/p>\n

Named by the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism as one of the \u201cBest 1000 Places\u201d in the state, The Paul C Jones Working Forest provides a largely undeveloped and uninterrupted forest habitat that contains many native plant and animal species, including moose, whitetail deer, wild turkey, bobcat, black bear, porcupine, snowshoe hare, ruffed grouse, songbirds, and a variety of amphibians. The conservation of this forest and its associated wetlands and streams protects this significant habitat.<\/p>\n
