Bowen Forest Explained

Bowen Forest in Mount Holly, Vermont, United States, is a component of the Yale Forests system. This system also includes the 7900acres Yale-Myers Forest located in the towns of Union, Ash-ford, East-ford, and Woodstock, Connecticut, and the 1100acres Yale-Tourney Forest in the towns of Swanzey, New Hampshire and Keene, New Hampshire.[1] Bowen Forest is 462acres in size, and like the other Yale Forests, is owned by Yale University and administered by the Yale School of the Environment.[2] It was given to the university in 1922 by Elma S. Bowen in honor of her son, Joseph Brown Bowen, a 1917 graduate of the School of Forestry who was killed in France during World War I.[3]
