Opportunity to Support State Parks
Don’t miss your chance to comment on the Stewardship Council Strategic Oversight Plan!
In 2004 the Legislature merged the Metropolitan District Commission, the state’s metro-Boston parks agency, with the Department of Environmental Management, which ran state parks in the rest of Massachusetts, to form the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR).
The enabling legislation also created the DCR Stewardship Council as a quasi-board of directors to oversee the new entity. That legislation requires the Stewardship Council to periodically review its oversight plan and to seek public input while doing so.
The public has until close of business, Tuesday, August 22, to review and comment on the Strategic Oversight Plan.
Mass Parks for All will be submitting its comments during this period, and we encourage our members to also take advantage of this opportunity to weigh in on the Stewardship Council’s priorities over the next two years.
You can submit public comments here, or by letter at:

Thank you, and remember the park you save may be your own.
