STAND WITH WENDELL FOREST PROTECTORS NOW! We need your support. Come hold signs NOW. share widely!
9-4pm Today 8-7, through Saturday. Wendell State Forest Headquarters, 392 Montague Road, Wendell. (GPS might say 392 Montague Road, Millers Falls – that works too). Join our action list at savebrookrdforest@gmail.com
Your support for our cause has been outstanding. And despite the fact that our Senator Comerford received over 100 letters and calls from you (such a great response extremely unusual – usually they receive one or two letters), DCR is still insisting on logging our forest, despite multiple laws, stated policies and procedures, that require them to place this forest in Reerve Status. The loggers are in our forest. We are still working to stop this. And we need a physial show of support at the Wendell State Forest
Please come hold signs at Wendell State Forest Headquarters and at by the road at the logging entrance. Stand in support of the Wendell State Forest Protectors at Wendell State Forest. Hold a sign. Signs available or make your own. You can stand in support of the forest protectors who are getting arrested. Please come now. It is not necessary to risk arrest. You can still stand in support of those who are willing to risk arrest. Two forest protectors were arrested yesterday, while standing in peaceful constitutionally protected protest in front of the logging entrance on a public way. This is our constitutional protected right to peacefully protest about the taking of our forestd against our will.
Thank You For All Your Outstanding Support
