USFWS has 4 or 5 types of sites - "Each unit of the Refuge System — whether it is a wildlife refuge, a marine national monument, a conservation area or a waterfowl production area — is established to serve a statutory purpose that targets the conservation of native species dependent on its lands and water. All activities on those acres are reviewed for compatibility with this statutory purpose." - per https://www.fws.gov/carp/program/national-wildlife-refuge-system
we also know that some refuges are combined into 'complexes' ================================== from https://www.fws.gov/locations?type=%5B%22National%20Wildlife%20Refuge%22%5D United States Fish and Wildlife 'Refuges' in Massachusetts Parker River National Wildlife Refuge - (978) 465-5753 - 6 Plum Island Turnpike Newburyport, MA 01950-4315 Thacher Island NWR - in care of Parker River NWR - SE of Rockport MA - offshore Oxbow NWR - 33-1 Still River Depot Rd in Harvard MA - there does seem to be a small office and a small garage there Assabet River NWR - telo number 978 / 562-3527 - HQ for the Eastern Mass NWR Complex - 680 Hudson Road in Sudbury MA - this seems to be a building way off in the woods NE of the Mass Fire Academy - Google Maps might show the wrong location for that address - we dont think that it is 500 feet from the fire academy - we think it is 1 mile from the academy Great Meadows NWR Sudbury Unit - 73 Weir Hill Road in Sudbury MA Massasoit NWR in Plymouth MA - near Flagg Hill Mashpee NWR - Great Neck Road South - Mashpee MA Monomoy NWR - 791 Main St - Chatham MA - 508/945-0594 Nantucket NWR - 107 Wauwmet Road Nantucket MA - 978 / 443-4661 Nomans Land Island NWR - off shore there might be a different radio channel for each of these sites - although Nomans Land and Thacher Island might not have any base stations - they might not have any buildings either - they might not have any permanent USFWS staff either unknown if any of the sites have any of their own wildfire fighting equipment - whether it be a type 6 engine or an atv with a slipon tank - none of these sites are mentioned on WildWeb afaik -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
