The Department of Conservation and Recreation 
(DCR), an agency of the Executive Offce of Energy 
and Environmental Affairs, manages approximately 
485,000 acres of forests, parks, greenways, trails, 
historic sites and landscapes, seashores, lakes, ponds, reservoirs, and watersheds. From Mount Greylock in the Berkshires to the Blue Hills south of Boston to the sandy shores of Cape Cod, this diverse system of public conservation and recreation properties includes unfragmented forest land, critical habitat, lakes, ponds and beaches, bike trails, scenic areas, picnic grounds, and camping areas.

The agency’s mission is to protect, promote, and 
enhance our common wealth of natural, cultural, and recreational resources for the well-being of all; and to cooperate and partner with those who share this common purpose. To learn about DCR and discover more about the parks, programs, and recreational opportunities within the Massachusetts state parks, please visit www.mass.gov/dcr or contact us at mass.parks@state.ma.us.

The City of Fall River Water Department protects and manages over 7,800 acres of land and water resources in Fall River and surrounding towns. The department supplies water to more than 100,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers in the Greater Fall River area. Fundamental to that operation is the care 
and control of the extensive watershed forests that surround its two drinking water supply reservoirs – the North Watuppa Pond and Copicut Reservoir. Both water bodies reside within the boundaries of the city. Together, they have a safe daily yield of over 16 million gallons.

The Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife) 
is responsible for the conservation, including protection, restoration and management, of Massachusetts’s native fora and fauna for the benefit and enjoyment of the public. Specifically, the agency’s charge is the stewardship of all wild amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and freshwater and diadromous fishes, as well as endangered, threatened, and special concern species, including native wild plants and invertebrates. In order to protect and perpetuate ecosystems that contain significant fish and wildlife resources, conserve biological diversity, and provide adequate routes for public access to lands and waters, one of the agency’s highest priorities is habitat acquisition.

MassWildlife has conserved and manages more than 200,000 acres of habitat statewide including wildlife management areas, public access points to the coastal and inland waters, wildlife sanctuaries and conservation restrictions on both public and private lands. These areas are extremely valuable to the long-term conservation of fish and wildlife resources and they provide exceptional opportunities for the public to enjoy passive wildlife-dependent outdoor recreational activities such as hunting, fishing, trapping, hiking, wildlife viewing, and photography. To learn more about the Division’s programs and recreational opportunities on our lands please visit www.masswildlife.org or contact
