Public Invited To Berkshires Forest Forum

12:49PM / Wednesday, July 08, 2009

The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is inviting interested sportsmen and women, foresters, land trust and watershed association members and other conservationists who care about state forests to participate in their Forest Futures Visioning Process at a two-part public forum in the Berkshires on Tuesday, July 14, 2009, from 3:45 – 8:30 p.m. The first part of the forum will be a Walk-in-the-Woods at Savoy State Forest. The second part of the forum will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Mass. College of Liberal Arts in North Adams. If you plan to join DCR for the Public Forum on July 14, please RSVP to MODR@umb.edu.

4:00 p.m. – 5:45 p.m.  Walk-in-the-Woods, Savoy Mountain State Forest

DCR State Lands Manager Bill Hill will lead the group to several locations at the Savoy Mountain State Forest to discuss and view examples of the forest conditions, management practices, and recreational uses of some of our state lands.  Interested participants will meet at the MassWildlife Moran Wildlife Management Area, which will serve as a staging area for car pooling to the State Forest, located 9/10 mile north of the junction of Rte. 9 and Rt. 8A (Savoy Rd) on the left-hand side. Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes.  If possible, please car pool to the staging area.


5:45 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.  Travel to Mass. College of Liberal Arts, North Adams

Forum Location: Murdoch Hall, Sammer Dennis Room on 375 Church Street, North Adams. Directions: http://www.mcla.edu/Admissions/visiting_mcla/directions/

 
6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.   Public Forum (Light Food and Refreshments Available)

Please join the DCR public forum designed to elicit feedback on public values, goals, and concerns about the management of DCR forest lands. The program will begin with approximately a half-hour of presentations that will provide an overview of the Forest Futures Visioning Process, basic facts about forests, and key issues. DCR will collect questions for the subject experts and presenters and answer as many as time allows. Then, working in small groups, there will be an hour of organized discussion. The groups will report back to the group at large about what is important about Massachusetts forestlands, from their perspective.

Please report on this further. Is the development of the forest the plan of our governor, dcr or individuals at the dcr. Isn't the idea of the forest to be left alone for use by the public? How about more trails and activities rather that development? The Savoy state forest is 52% of the town of Savoy. The town agencies should be made aware of the dcr intentions. Please report further.
