Patrick, Governor Timothy P. Murray, Lt. Governor Ian A. Bowles, Secretary Richard K. Sullivan, Jr., Commissioner Jack Murray, Deputy Commissioner for Parks Operations Resource Management Plans (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 Department 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 DCR’s stewardship efforts. Stony Brook Reservation, the largest forested open space in the City of Boston, is one of the oldest properties in the Massachusetts state park system. This RMP represents both a connection to the historic past, and a guide to the future of DCR’s Stony Brook Reservation. This RMP also represents the initial step of DCR’s efforts to prepare RMPs for every state forest, park and reservation across the Commonwealth. Richard K. Sullivan, Jr. Commissioner The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), an agency of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, oversees 450,000 acres of parks and forests, beaches, bike trails, watersheds, dams, and parkways. Led by Commissioner Richard K. Sullivan Jr., the agency’s mission is to protect, promote, and enhance our common wealth of natural, cultural, and recreational resources.
