Massachusetts is one of the smallest states in the nation, but as a percentage of total land area, the Commonwealth has one of the nation’s largest state park systems.
Our state parks need champions. Together, we can build a 21st century vision for our public lands.
Interested in getting involved? Attend a DCR Stewardship Council meeting! The Council meets throughout the year and is open to the public: click here for the meeting schedule and other details.
Massachusetts Conservation Voters is a statewide, non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Massachusetts State Parks and developing a vision for transforming the current parks system into a robust, well-used and adequately-supported public parks system. Remember, the park you save may be your own.
Get Involved
Join us in supporting Massachusetts’ open spaces – our parks, campgrounds, beaches, swimming pools, forests, greenways, historic sites, scenic parkways, and bike paths – which make this such a beautiful place to live, stimulate our economy especially in the outdoor and tourism industries, and provide thousands of jobs.

As DCR continues to rise to the challenges presented by COVID-19, the agency faces an increase in its responsibilities and services while at the same time suffering losses to its budget. We deserve parks that will stay open and services that will not lapse.
