Mass.gov PRESS RELEASE Baker-Polito Administration Announces 13th Annual Park Serve Day State Park Clean-Up Events Set for Saturday, April 27, 2019 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 4/10/2019 Department of Conservation & Recreation MEDIA CONTACT Olivia Dorrance, Press Secretary Phone (617) 626-4967 (tel:6176264967) Online [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) BOSTON — The Baker-Polito Administration today announced that the 13th Annual Park Serve Day event will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2019, with more than 37 volunteer activities coordinated throughout the Commonwealth with the assistance of several organizations and stakeholders. Created in 2006 as a statewide initiative to encourage a day of volunteerism, Park Serve Day enables the public to partner with state government in an effort to prepare the Commonwealth’s many state parks and beaches for the upcoming spring and summer seasons. Since Park Serve Day began, thousands of individuals have volunteered in an effort to make a difference, such as assisting in cleaning coastlines, clearing trails, picking up litter, planting flowers, and other important tasks. “Our administration is grateful to the thousands of volunteers who will get outside with friends and neighbors to improve state parks throughout the Commonwealth on Park Serve Day,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “We look forward to working with local officials on a successful 2019 recreational season.” “We thank the teams of volunteers in state parks across Massachusetts for their dedication and hard work to help get the state park system ready for this year’s season,” said Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito. -

Resource Management Planning Program
Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation Bureau of Planning and Resource Protection Resource Management Planning Program RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN Middlesex Fells Planning Unit Middlesex Fells Planning Unit RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN 2011 Deval L. Patrick, Governor Timothy P. Murray, Lt. Governor Richard K. Sullivan Jr., Secretary Edward M. Lambert Jr., Commissioner Dear Friends, Supporters, Users and Stakeholders of the DCR Middlesex Fells Reservation; I am please to introduce you to this draft Resource Management Plan (RMP) for the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation’s Middlesex Fells Reservation. RMPs provide guidelines for management of properties under the stewardship of the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). They are intended to be working documents for setting priorities, enabling the DCR to adapt to changing fiscal, social and environmental conditions. The planning process provides a forum for communication and cooperation with park visitors and the surrounding communities to ensure transparency in the DCR’s stewardship efforts. For more than a century, the Middlesex Fells Reservation has provided visitors a natural oasis in the midst of an urbanized landscape, and an opportunity for visitors to connect with nature. The reservation offers a variety of nature-based recreation activities that are special to the residents of metropolitan Boston and beyond. It is home to ten rare plants and animals, uncommon natural communities, and cultural and historic resources that live as a testament to our agrarian and industrial past. Generations of users have traversed its trails, viewed the Boston skyline from atop its rocky hills, and enjoyed the sound of birdsong echoing through the forest. This RMP strives to balance recreational use and demand with the protection natural and cultural resources at the DCR Middlesex Fells so that these experiences, and others, are available for the generations to come. -
