Stand Up for a Wilder Future for State Lands in Central Massachusetts

The Erving Complex is a collection of 11 State Parks and State Forests in North Central Massachusetts, stretching from near the Quabbin Reservoir to the New Hampshire border and forming a backbone of one of the region's most important forest blocks and wildlife corridors.

The Massachusetts Dept. of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is putting the cart before the horse by proposing "Resource Management Plans" (RMPs) for the Erving Complex that lay the groundwork for future logging before developing the Forest Resource Management Plans that these RMPs should be based on, and before implementing the recommendations that they committed to from the Massachusetts Climate Forestry Committee.

Use this form to submit a comment to the Dept. of Conservation and Recreation by October 18 to call for a different, wilder future for the Erving Complex. Click "Start Writing" for more information and a detailed draft comment.
