First view from the tree sit, overlooking Enbridge's existing pipeline metering station in the forest. They want to cut down these trees to bring in a massive crane to expand the facility.

Newton educators enter their third day on strike this morning. Send them your solidarity statements. They'd love to hear from you @FlyingWithSara @SenSanders
Over 2,000 educators walked out in Newton on Friday — in defiance of a stonewalling school committee and the state's anti-worker ban on public sector strikes
It's the biggest confrontation yet in the ongoing teachers strike wave in Massachusetts

Such a disgrace. A forest being cut for no reason (because an alternate site for this school is not only available, it's ready to be developed).
#Healeybrokenclimatepromise #shamWPA Trees at NEMT Forest are being clear cut NOW without all local permits; innocent lives including MESA listed species will be lost . Call Governor NOW (617) 725-4005 tell her to stop it. 50 trees in 15 mins #fixisin youtu.be/IHauciN4Tgw
Mass. School Building agency isn't following the law (jumping ahead with tree cutting without permits), listening to reasoned local input, or aware that we need every bit of urban forest we still have to meet the climate emergency.
Why is MSBA spending taxpayer money on clear cutting trees and blasting forest habitats for schools that have extensive fields to build on, like Northeast Metro Tech in Wakefield? @Mass_SBA @MassTreasury @MassGovernor @SenJasonLewis #WheresJasonLewis

‘all phases of wind energy development can be disrupting and disastrous to marine mammals, from the devices used in surveys that can “generate sound that may affect a marine mammal’s behavior” and lead to “serious consequences,”…to the pile driving during construction…
#noise: “Direct hearing damage is not the issue,” said Stern, “but rather disturbance of the whale’s behavior leading indirectly to serious harm and fatality. The post-mortem examinations cannot detect whether noise was a precipitating factor in a fatal outcome.”

Whales at risk even in the early stages of offshore wind development: strandings related to sonar surveying?

Action needed for forests: By Jan 26, 2023 submit comments to USDA rejecting the release of GE trees into wild forests! These #GMO trees would irreversibly contaminate wild forests causing unknown impacts to forests & human health. Submit a comment! regulations.gov/commenton/AP…
Celebrating last mile broadband…next challenge is implementing east-west rail.
Cheers @MassBroadband @MassGovernor @MassLtGov @MassEOHED, + herculean efforts of RPAs + muni officials across 53 WMA & north-central MA communities to expand #broadband service. 6 years, 40,000 telephone poles, 2,000 mls of fiber, + high-speed internet to ~26,000 new locations.
