NeVar and NeVara are Common Ravens, known for being one of the most intelligent of birds. Yes, these images are cartoon characters but be sure to take their purpose seriously. They, like all the plants and animals of the Range, inspired the creation of this website. Their participation in telling the Mount Tom Range Story helps promote awareness of the entire range. They urge you and your family and friends to view all this website's pages. Visit the range as often as you can. Get to know its trails, flora and fauna. Spread the word that preserving the Mount Tom Range largely as undeveloped open space is in everyone's economic and ecological best interests.

Nature Center 
Natural stone walls, a slate roof, cozy wood burning stove, the story book Visiter Center was the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. Today it is the meeting place for the reservation’s seasonal interpreter who will share much about the history, ecology, and geology of a park that got its start nearly a 100 years ago. The Center’s displays are a must see.
