Who is eligible for membership in the Friends Network and what does membership involve?
The Massachusetts Forest and Park Friends Network is open to friends groups, i.e., a group formed to support a particular DCR property, and everyone who cares about MA forests and parklands.
Voting priveledges in the Friends Network belong to friends groups only. Friends groups wishing to particpate in the Friends Network must designae a representative to serve as the liaison between the friends group and the Friends Network. The representative will supply an email address to the Friends Network and agree to receive email information from the Network. The representative will control what information to share with his or her friends group.
All email addresses and all communications received from Friends Network members, DCR staff, and other groups or organizations will be held confidential within the facilitator team. No information will be shared beyond the facilitator team without prior permission granted to the facilitator team by the Friends Network member, DCR staff or any other party sending communication.
All members will have one vote on any issue that arises.
A member may withdraw from the Friends Network at any time by requesting that their email information be deleted from the Friends Network database.
People who care about forests can join the Friends Network even if they do not belong to a friends group.
