Subject: Governor Baker/DOER meetings on biomass energy changes
Governor Baker and DOER,
Please do not tarnish Massachusetts'
record of many great advancement in the energy industry by promoting or
allowing a greater influence of the biomass industry in Massachusetts. Our
Species Forest, Inc. land trust of Massachusetts works to improve the forest
and not altering or destroying them for short term profits. Biomass harvesting
and burning is just about the most harmful thing to do to a forest which I can
imagine. Please ignore advise from foresters. The forester's answer is always
more tree cutting and now biomass burning. We certainly can do better than use
forests carbon. Time to stop this very ancient practice of burning wood.
For the record.
Thank you,
Richard Stafursky, President
Species Forest, Inc. land trust of
Massachusetts
