    Massachusetts Forests at the Crossroads

    MASSACHUSETTS FORESTS AT THE CROSSROADS Forests, Parks, Landscapes, Environment, Quality of Life, Communities and Economy Threatened by Industrial Scale Logging & Biomass Power Deerfield River, Mohawk Trail Windsor State Forest, 2008, “Drinking Water Supply Area, Please protect it!” March 5, 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The fate of Massachusetts’ forests is at a crossroads. Taxpayer subsidized policies and proposals enacted and promoted by Governor Patrick’s office of Energy and Environmental Affairs seriously threaten the health, integrity and peaceful existence of Massachusetts forests. All the benefits provided by these forests including wilderness protection, fish and wildlife habitat, recreation, clean water, clean air, tourism, carbon sequestration and scenic beauty are now under threat from proposals to aggressively log parks and forests as outlined below. • About 80% of State forests and parks are slated for logging with only 20% set aside in reserves. (p.4) • Aggressive logging and clear-cutting of State forests and parks has already started and new management plans call for logging rates more than 400% higher than average historical levels. (p. 5-18) • “Clear-cutting and its variants” is proposed for 74% of the logging. Historically, selective logging was common. (p. 5-18) • The timber program costs outweigh its revenue . Taxpayers are paying to cut their own forests.(p.19) • The State has enacted laws and is spending taxpayer money devoted to “green” energy to promote and subsidize the development of at least five wood-fueled, industrial-scale biomass power plants. These plants would require tripling the logging rate on all Massachusetts forests, public and private. At this rate, all forests could be logged in just 25 years.
