Thank you to those who were able to attend any of the in-person or virtual listening sessions that DFW held over the past few weeks. It was especially great to hear several of you speak during the remote session on Tuesday!

As those of you who have been following the sessions may know, DFW has been hearing from supporters of the proposed changes at about twice the rate as those of us opposed to the changes. Many of the arguments the supporters have been making repeat the same, often factually inaccurate, talking points, but the quantity of comments is just as important at this stage as the substance of those comments.

If you haven't yet submitted your own written comments opposing the plan to weaken Massachusetts's hunting laws, tomorrow, February 6 at 5:00pm, is the deadline! It takes just a couple of minutes to fill out the form and register your opposition to all three of the proposed changes! While we will be submitting this petition to DFW and the Governor's office, it is not a substitute for submitting your own written comments.

Thank you again for helping to keep our forests safe for us all!
