ASHFIELD — The efforts of three neighbors have resulted in the conservation of 420 acres of land in the area of Barnes, Bailey and Phillips roads.
Most recently, 30 acres of forestland on Phillips Road were conserved late last year by Ray Damato with the help of the Franklin Land Trust.
“This parcel is the icing on the cake,” Franklin Land Trust Land Protection Specialist Emily Boss said in a press release from the conservation nonprofit. “The conservation of the Damato parcel is a testament to the power of working together to accomplish a common goal.”
