Let Other Species Occupy the Natural Landscape

We support #OWS.

The Species List Forest, Conway, MA USA is a place that is occupied by many native species of plants, animals, fungi and microbes. It wasn't that way until ten years ago when all people, building, animal under human management (AUHM) and trash were removed. In addition, non-native invasive are being removed. Our 84 acres signage located only on our boundaries is for people control. This signage has been very successful in stopping hunting and the harm caused by people. Walking only is permitted however there are no trails.

Reoccupation of acres by other species continues.

Much "conserved" land in New England, USA continues to be controlled by money and misinformed people. Acres are not returned. Big pale green conservancy land trusts continue to use the acres they control for some people-related uses and in the process the lands they own are degraded and the natural world suffers.

Green Inc. land trusts of note advertise that YOUR land will be conserved, but that is not true. In fact, once given by or purchased as a conservation sale acres are then re-sold, exchanged or used for logging, used for gas and minerals, developed for nature trails, used for hunting, added to campuses and dedicated for other cultural uses that degrade the natural landscape.

Native Species Call to You ...

The Natural Landscape Calls to You ...

Don't Convert Acres to Dollars.

Don't hold onto nature for some future family use.

Don't Sell Your Land or Restrictions to a Conservancy.

Give the Land Freely.

Make sure they will return it, not develop it in any way, not sell it, not extract anything from it and not exchange it.

Do You Love it? Yes?

Your First Duty is to Serve the Natural Landscape.

Return the land before you are dead.

I did.

It will probably be the greatest permanent thing that you will ever do.
