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 the DCR’s stewardship efforts. As I travel the Commonwealth, I am reminded of the variety of high-quality experiences offered by DCR parks. Those within the Mount Holyoke Range Planning Unit are among the best that this state has to offer. They provide a variety of recreational opportunities, from challenging hikes along mountain ridgelines, to family picnics on a promontory overlooking the Connecticut River Valley, to taking in a summer concert in downtown Holyoke. Although they may all be visited in a single day, the true character of these parks is best revealed through repeat visits. In addition to providing outstanding recreational opportunities, these parks protect important natural and cultural resources.

Forest vegetation is somewhat transitional between the boreal regions to the north in Canada and the broadleaf deciduous forests to the south.

  • 2361 Describe
    Describing Mount Holyoke College Key Themes and Supporting Talking Points Spring 2009 Introduction Thank you for your support of Mount Holyoke College. This document is designed to help you communicate the College’s excellence whenever the opportunity arises. In this paper you will find four key themes that showcase the College’s distinctive strengths and respond to the needs and interests of our constituencies—particularly prospective students and their parents. In combination these four themes differentiate Mount Holyoke from other academic institu - tions and make it easier for prospective students and their parents to determine whether Mount Holyoke should be their college of choice. When talking to prospective students, their parents, and others about the College, it would be helpful if you said something about each of the four key themes. This document supplies you with support for each theme—talking points and ideas from which you can choose the most compelling information for your particular audience. Feel free to incorporate stories from your own experience that support the key themes. Your personal experiences can convey, in a most powerful and compelling way, the value of affili - ating with Mount Holyoke. This document is not meant to be used as a script; rather, its purpose is to suggest a frame - work for all of us to use when describing the College. Consistency is a critical part of effective communication. By using these themes and talking points consistently, we effectively build and reinforce a strong, positive image for Mount Holyoke. As you will see, the four themes reflect the College’s mission statement and are designed to resonate with contemporary audiences.
