Our Massachusetts Forests To Cut, or Not to Cut? That is the question ~ May 19, 2020
Michael Kellett is executive director of the New England nonprofit organization, RESTORE: The North Woods, which he co-founded in 1992. He developed the proposal for a 3.2-million-acre Maine Woods National Park, which laid the groundwork for the 2016 designation by President Obama of Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument. In Massachusetts, he has worked to protect Walden Woods, the Thoreau birthplace, and Mount Wachusett old-growth forests. In 2009, he served as a member of the citizen advisory committee to DCR’s Forest Futures Visioning Process, which led to a modest expansion of protected areas. He helped to develop legislation to protect Massachusetts’ publicly owned land which was introduced in January 2019.
