Wachusett Mountain Resource Management and Protection Plan

Massachusetts DEM

HDM helped evaluate the impact of expanding ski resort operations within the Wachusett Mountain State Reservation. HDM developed approximately ten spatial data layers for this project, including spatial and attribute data for old growth forest, ski resort lease area, vegetation, open space, hiking trails, mountains, local zoning, and Wachusett Reservation boundaries. These maps supported the expansion of the ski resort while preserving 'old growth' forest
