Resource Management Planning
Resource Management Planning forms the framework for managing public
lands based upon a comprehensive inventory and assessment of environmental
and recreational resources, an identification of the unique characteristics
of a property or management unit, the development of clear management
goals and objectives, and an implementation plan to guide the short
and long-term management of the parks, forests and reservations under
the stewardship of the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and
Recreation (DCR).
The mission of the DCR Resource Management Planning (RMP) Program
is to work with all Divisions and Bureaus of DCR, partner agencies and
organizations, and the general public to:
- develop and implement an RMP program that meets current and future
statewide resource management planning needs for DCR, and
- prepare and submit resource management plans to the DCR Stewardship
Council for the Council’s adoption with respect to all reservations,
parks and forests under the management of the department.
The DCR Division of Planning and Engineering is responsible for
the oversight and coordination of the Resource Management Planning
Program. Program staff coordinate closely with the Divisions of
Urban Parks and Recreation (DUPR),
State Parks and Recreation (DSPR),
and Water Supply Protection (DWSP),
as well as with the Bureaus of Forestry,
Ranger Services, and Recreation.
