Buckland State Forest and all state lands are species' forests and must never be legally or illegally logged.
In Europe forests were destroyed by burning wood (aka biomass) thousands of years ago, but some have returned to a natural state. In Massachusetts forests were destroyed a few hundred years ago and many have returned to potentially natural states.
Massachusetts foresters do not make the forest regrow. Nature does this on its own. In Massachusetts the state administrators only see the returning forests as resources. That is because state forest administrators are not qualified to speak for the forests. These state administrators must be replaced by ethical vegans and/or other ethical professionals who have no money or career interests in operating the forests as agricultural lands. Massachusetts forests are not agricultural lands; they are species' forests. Those who actually care about complete forest restoration will demand mature 150 year old forests through out the state.
Buckland State Forest abuts a group of partially conserved forests and one forest (the Species' Forest, Conway, MA) which is totally conserved as a species' forest in perpetuity. Buckland State Forest's triage status must be revoked as woodland (aka woodlot) subsidized wood and biomass extraction.
We are no longer listed with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We were told by a state worker at the state friends partnership that, "Buckland State Forest does not need a friends group".
We are looking forward to another great year. Once again the Buckland State Forest will be included in the Species' Forest Circuit Tour this summer.
