Great news!!! North County Land Trust (NCLT) has recently purchased over 200 acres of land on the south slope of Mount Watatic adding to existing conserved lands blanketing the mountain. This acquisition is part of a land protection effort supported by local and state partners and generous donors. Located just south of the New Hampshire border in Ashby and Ashburnham Massachusetts, Mount Watatic rises 1,800’ above sea level. Due to its proximity to Boston, spectacular views, and the confluence of the Midstate and Wapack Trails, the mountain is a popular destination for hikers, hawk watchers, and other outdoor enthusiasts.
