Support Public Lands Preservation Act

February 3, 2011

The Public Lands Preservation Act (PLPA) (aka the Article 97 bill and the No-net-loss bill) proposed for Massachusettes would give needed protection to our parks, forests and other natural resource lands covered by Article 97 of the State Constitution. The bill would require that parks, conservation land, and other public natural resource land not be changed in use or otherwise disposed of without an alternatives analysis to demonstrate that the change or transfer really is necessary and without equivalent replacement land.  The bill would provide protection for public spaces under increasing pressure from development.  For more details on the PLPA click here.

The PLPA needs co-sponsors. Please contact your legislators this week and ask them to co-sponsor.
