“There’s a really, really strong case for proximity to nature influencing health in a really big way,” said Jared Hanley @NatureQuant. Explore the map to see where nature is abundant (and where it's lacking) ⬇️ @Harry_Stevens @washingtonpost #MAstateparks https://t.co/hzpT8X0345

Yesterday was a full but productive day across Framingham (don't worry Ashland, I have a few full days in Ashland just around the corner). The day started with a meeting with @MassParksForAll and Friends of Callahan State Park on the future of our Commonwealth's state parks.

Ghiloni Park was protected with DCR grants in the 1970s and 80s. The 2mi trail through gentle hills and over boardwalk streams goes through DCR’s Sudbury - Marlborough State Forest. See more photos and read our #EarthDay post here: https://t.co/aUztmvNRYh #mapoli #mastateparks

Nearly 50 people, including @JamieEldridgeMA, @DWGregoire, @MassDCR Commissioner @BrianArrigoDCR, MPA Executive Director @DougPizzi, joined #Marlborough Mayor J. Christian Dumais on a community hike to highlight the importance of access to public spaces!

Great morning in #Marlborough to hike DCR-purchased Ghiloni Park trail with Mayor Christian Dumais & @MassDCR Com. Brian Arrigo with Marlborough residents! TY to the Mass Hiking Project & Mass Parks for All for highlighting DCR parks & push for bigger investments! #GreenBudget

[Mass Parks For All @MassParksForAll]

This funding, if approved in the final budget, would allow Commissioner @BrianArrigoDCR and @MassDCR staff to continue the progress the agency has made in recent years. #mastateparks #stateparks #mapoli #massachusetts

"Blue Hills is the sight of the original First Day Hike about 33-years-ago, and that phenomenon has taken on a life of it's own. Now most states have their own First Day Hikes, and it's even gone international," said Simon Schreier, @MassDCR #MAstateparks https://t.co/v3T072bSOn
