Take Me Fishin'! Saturday, September 29, 10 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.


On Saturday, September 29, 2007, 10:00 a.m to 3:00 p.m., FMSSF will hold its first annual fishing event, "Take Me Fishin'!" at beautiful Fearing Pond in the Myles Standish State Forest. This is a free event aimed at giving children in our community the opportunity to learn to fish, to develop a sense of stewardship for our natural resources, and to get outside. Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation and MassWildlife will provide all of the equipment for fishing. We are planning other fishing related activities too. FMSSF will have trained volunteers on hand to teach kids and their parents some of the basics of fishing so that they might make fishing a family tradition. Fearing Pond has a number of BBQ's and picnic tables. Bring your lunch and stay the whole day!

See the link "DCR" at the sidebar for directions to the Myles Standish State Forest. This site has a PDF map of Myles Standish State Forest showing Fearing Pond.

Next Meeting: Wednesday, September 19, 7:00 p.m.


Friends of Myles Standish State Forest will hold its next meeting on September 19, at 7:00 p.m., at "the barn", across the street from the MSSF Headquarters. Friends will focus on establishing our priorities for the next twelve months. Bring your ideas for helping improve the forest.
