Volunteer!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. To view Massachusetts' forests and parks in the Western and Central District in need of friends click here (scroll down for Central District). To view forests and parks needing friends in the Northeast Region click here. We still need to upload the information on other districts and regions needing friends, but in the meantime feel free to contact the Friends Network to find out if your favorite forest or park needs a friends group. If you’ve ever thought of joining or starting a friends group we’re here to help! Please contact the Friends Network by clicking here. DCR will help you start a friends group too. Conrad Crawford is the new Director of Partnerships at DCR. Conrad’s office is in Boston but he travels when needed across the state. You can find out more about DCR partnerships by calling Conrad (617) 626-4964 or email by clicking here.
