The Fells Dog Owner Group (FellsDOG) is responding to the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation's plans to remove park users with dogs from the ten-acre Sheepfold.

On my somerville dog weblog, I have posted some pictures taken this weekend at the site proposed by the DCR as an alternative to the Sheepfold: a measly half-acre fenced-in area to the east near Route 93.

If you enjoy the Middlesex Fells in the company of your dog, please join FellsDOG. The group is making arrangements to meet with the DCR to discuss the recreational needs of residents with dogs.
