Forests and Parks in Western and Central Massachusetts Need Friends

Every forest and park deserves friends! Here is a list of DCR properties, many of which need a friends group.

The Forests and parks in Massachusetts have too few friends. For example, DCR’s web site shows 25 parks in the Western District but lists only 3 “friends” contacts. In the Central District, 31 forests and parks are listed but only six have friends. So far, the Friends Network has been unable to verify that all the groups listed are currently active.
