The City has just hired an excellent environmental agent, namely Pat Brown. In concert with the Conservation Commission, our City is at least aware of it environmental responsibilities. The Mystic River, Saving the Fells and Brooks Estate's coalition of volunteers that do cleanups, provide conservation information and actively protect our water and greenspace environment are stellar leaders within our City for conservation protection. Put that together with the 1200 acres of the Middlesex Fells open space, Medford does provide unique opportunities for folks to play and enjoy nature's beauty.
Close to one quarter of Medford is green space, we must preserve this resource for future generations.
Noise, air and vehicular pollution that are challenging us on a daily basis are the working responsibilities of all of us and how that is managed becomes the responsibility of those in the industry as compared to those who practice environmental and conservation measures daily.
Some four years the City engaged the Wallace Floyd Design Group to review and prepare an open space plan for our City today and tomorrow. It touched upon all aspects of City as to its future uses of development, the environment and how to prepare for it.
It is a most detailed and informative document.
