We defend our habitat work on the Montague Plains

Regarding a June 27, 2016, letter from Peter and Cecilia Tusinski of Leyden —“Plains Devastation” —the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife (MassWildlife) respectfully submits this response. The Tusinkis say that MassWildlife’s objective at the Montague Plains Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is to “restore a high canopy forest.”
On the contrary, MassWildlife's objective for this site is to restore a globally-rare pitch pine and scrub oak community.
We are doing that through a combination of forest canopy reduction, shrub mowing, and controlled burns, in order to reinvigorate fire-adapted species and communities on the site. This is simultaneously reducing fuel loads to help protect the Village of Lake Pleasant from wildfire.
