Our state parks, forests, beaches and reservations are suffering from years of underfunding. We're working to convince state leaders to reinvest in our parks system, hire more staff and rangers, and fund much-needed maintenance projects. Read more.

Dear Commissioner Sullivan,

The Quabbin Reservoir is the largest source of drinking water in Massachusetts, providing clean water to more than 2 million people. We urge you to protect it from all threats to its water quality.

Logging around the Quabbin -- and on all state forests and parks surrounding our watersheds -- should be halted immediately and permanently. Because of the efforts of the Department of Conservation and Recreation, Massachusetts residents served by the Quabbin have enjoyed some of the cleanest, best-tasting drinking water in the country. We urge you not to let short-sighted planning or lack of oversight endanger our drinking water now or in the future.

Sincerely,
