Thanks to Rep Ayers

FBH thanks Representative Bruce Ayers for his work to conduct a management assessment of the Harbor Islands, similar to the Resource Management Plan that is currently underway in the Blue Hills. We also applaud his efforts to prevent development on Outer Brewster Island. The Harbor Islands face many of the same development pressures that threaten the Blue Hills. His efforts to protect the Harbor Islands reflects the values we think are essential for protecting the Blue Hills and all of our precious conservation land. We fully support Rep. Ayer’s legislation House Bills 696 and 3806.

Language of the two bills follows:

House Bill 696: Resolve to establish a special commission to perform an investigation and providing for a study relative to the long term management and maintenance of certain harbor islands.

House Bill 3806: An act prohibiting the leasing of certain real property known as Outer Brewster Island in Boston Harbor
