Fw: [The-L]: state forests/protection

[Ted Cady]

Hi all,

There is a town of warwick chat room to discuss matters of town interest.  Attached below is a recent submission to the Warwick L as it is called.  I have deleted the woman's name because she is an innocent forwarder of information she received and is a very sincere and honest person.

Subject: [The-L]: state forests/protection

The location for the Forest Forum has been changed to the Amherst Middle School cafeteria. There are two sessions, an early one starting at 5:00 pm, and a late show starting at 7:00 pm. It is critical that citizens voice their concerns to the state, or our public lands will be transferred to the Department of Energy so that they can harvest our all of our recovering forests to supply the proposed super-inefficient biomass incinerators. That is the plan and it must be stopped. Only citizen outrage will have an impact. Please attend.

Written comments can also be submitted until Feb 22nd. see below
 re: this forum

 Please attend a public forum regarding the future fate of Massachusetts public forests and speak up in favor of protection for our state forests, watersheds and parks.  Written comments are crucial to ensuring your comments are included in the record and must be submitted to:   MODRD...@umb.edu.  Tuesday, February 9, 2010, 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. Amherst.  For info on talking points, go to http://www.maforests.org/Handout.pdf.

If you go to the Mass Forest Watch site highlighted in the Warwick posting, you will see that it is yet another of Matera’s predictable rants that contains a lot of half truths and much disinformation.  What a disservice.    Whit
