Rally to Stop Strip Mining of the Pine Barrens
July 22, 2023 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
In front of Wareham Town Hall, 54 Marion Road, with our ally the Community Land and Water Coalition/savethepinebarrens.org.
End the Destruction! End Deforestation! End the Desecration of Indigenous History! End the Threats to Our Drinking Water!
Over the last 25 years, southeastern Massachusetts has lost thousands of acres of pristine wilderness and millions of cubic yards of silica sand to the sand mining industry. The sand mining is largely unregulated and threatens our forests, our air, our drinking water, our health and our welfare. Additionally, southeastern Massachusetts has been home to Indigenous people since time immemorial, and their cultural history is erased with every bulldozer of sand. We refuse to let our towns be used as the sand pit of Massachusetts any longer! Come join us!
