Join us this Saturday – Earth Day – bring your family, friends, and let our voices ring together for Wakefield’s last Forest Core Habitat*, for trees, for wildlife, and for future building users. We will have signs, flyers, and leaflets. Please bring respectful and creative signs, if you can.

We owe it to our children and future generations.

Many thanks to everyone who newly joined us and who have been continuing to help the cause. We deeply appreciate your support, time, and efforts. We need your help to reach more people, so please share this email and spread the word.

There are many residents who do not know about the planned, unnecessary destruction of this native Forest. The Northeast Metro Tech (NEMT) school is seeking permits for clear cutting over 2000 mature trees and mass blasting of rock outcrops, killing wildlife, and destroying the whole ecosystem, including essential nesting and migratory habitat for endangered species and species of greatest conservation need.

We need to let our officials know that a safer, more accessible, new school building for Northeast Metro Tech vocational school, should be built on the existing playing fields. It should NOT be built on this pristine native forest.

We need to act now – call, speak, or write to town officials in Wakefield and the other 11 sending communities or we will lose this irreplaceable forest forever.

* Note: This Forest is Wakefield’s only Forest Core Habitat as identified by the state's BioMap project. The BioMap project identifies wildlife communities, habitats, and ecosystems that are meant to be the focus of conservation.
