The NHTOA comments on Mass Wildlife and Logging rules
On August 19th, Eric Johnson, NHTOA’s Program Director, represented NHTOA at a Massachusetts Division of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) public hearing in Ludlow, Mass.  This public hearing was a chance for the Div. of Fish and Wildlife to receive input from interested parties on their management plans for the 180,000 acres they currently manage in the Commonwealth.  The Massachusetts  DFW has pursued active management of their forested lands and has a goal of maintaining 20-25% of their lands as early-successional wildlife habitat.  Eric Johnson spoke to the importance of having viable markets for the products coming off these lands, and how many of the jobs created by active management of forest land are important jobs in many rural communities.  NHTOA will continue to be engaged in the evolving public debate about the management of forest land by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
