Welcome to the Mount Tom Range and Navar, a common raven and mascot for the range. His was chosen to be the voice for Exploring Mount Tom for his intelligence, sociability and adaptability. Ravens have been companions to humankind for all of recorded history and are a rich part of their folklore. To some ravens are evil. To others they are revered as noble spirits. And so ravens were chosen to tell the story of Mount Tom and why the ridge that makes up the spine of Holyoke should be preserved largely as undeveloped open space.
