Exploring the Mt. Tom Range and State Reservation

See why preserving Mt. Tom and the entire range largely as open space says much about who we are and what we value. This site also speaks of volunteering and what –in small ways, volunteers can do to make a difference. Images and much of the site's text are courtesy of friends of the Mt. Tom Range.

Flora

To do justice to abundance of Flora on the Mt. Tom Range, as well as that of the Mount Holyoke Range, is beyond the scope of this website. Massachusetts Audubon would be an excellent source to start your inquiries. They are at https://www.massaudubon.org/our-work/birds-wildlife/bird-conservation-research/massachusetts-important-bird-areas/iba-sites/mount-holyoke-mount-tom-east-mountain-range.
