Don’t Ignore Blue Diamonds On MA Trees
April is here and it's time to do those outdoor adventures!
Outdoors is a lovely place to be when the weather is ideal. Fresh air, sun, and a place to collect your thoughts.
Massachusetts has many state forests, all with varying rules. Most of the state forests are found in the western part of the state, but certainly not all.
What Those Blue Diamonds On Trees In Massachusetts Mean
So many colors and markers out there. On a random walk the other day, I came across two trees beside each other with identical blue diamonds on them.
The writing was small enough that I had to get a closer glimpse only to find that they were boundaries for the Pittsfield State Forest. Those blue diamonds on Massachusetts trees signify borders of a state forest.
Rules are Random for Different State Forests:
- Camping
- Alcohol
- Open Fires
- Horse Back Riding
- Dogs
- ATVs
- Hiking
- Swimming
- Boating
- Hunting
Make sure you are aware of what is permitted in your state forest of choice.
