Now boop my nose! We are loving our Big Ash Tree Now boop my nose!

We are loving our Big Ash Tree at Stowe Farm! This gorgeous heritage tree was carefully preserved while the houses were built, and deeply enjoyed by humans and animals alike. Unfortunately, the Emerald Ash Borer was detected for the first time last year in Colrain, and we worry this trees years are now numbered.  We’re learning about the various ways to be stewards of the land in a changing world.
