VICTORY: Connecticut State Forest Remains Protected

Meshomasic State Forest

Connecticut resident Melissa Pericolosi started a MoveOn Petition to stop the state police from using 30 acres of the Meshomasic State Forest as a firearms training facility. Knowing that the training facility would threaten the park’s wildlife and public recreation areas, nearly 2,000 MoveOn members signed the petition. Governor Dannel P. Malloy heard their voices, and formally announced that the state park location was off the table.
