Greater Boston NEMBA

The current status of DCR's Draft Resource Management Plan is that it is in the public comment period until November 14th, 2011.

GB NEMBA has met with our members, collected feedback on draft plan proposed changes and provided some guidance on how to be effective in the comments YOU will be submitting.

You heard that right: everyone needs to send in comments on the plan. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. I know, we keep asking you to do stuff, and guess what - it matters and has an effect. DCR has listened. Some politicians have been watching and listening. Your voices count. No one said this was going to be short, easy and painless.
