Recreational and Forestry Uses 

 of Land in Massachusetts 



By David Rozman 



During the last few decades there has been a considerable decline in the 

 land area under cultivation in the State of Massachusetts, resulting in 

 the presence of many idle acres in various agricultural commvinities. 

 This study attempts to analyze the present condition of this abandoned 

 farm land and to point out the place of recreational and forestry uses in 

 developing a balanced program of land utilization for the Commonwealth.
