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
