Large crowd of conservation minded officials and friends of the Cowls family
Under a blazing sun blocked by a large white tent nestled on the side of a country road, Governor Deval Patrick and a wagon train of federal, state and local officials came to dedicate the renamed (from Brushy Mountain) Paul C Jones Working Forest, a 3,500 acre (5.4 square miles) swath of God's green earth.

Last December, after four years of negotiations, the state paid the W.D. Cowls Co--the largest private landowners in the state--$8.8 million for the development rights to the scenic property. Cowls will continue to log the land and act as stable stewards, as they have done for the past 125 years.

Looks like Deval is leaning forward.
Good for him.
Not a good day for the bear suit...
I see that Cinda tried to connect the preservation of land with the intention behind the failed zoning articles.
This would ordinarily be sound reasoning, but not here, not with this minority in Town Meeting.
