Many protestors standing outside Forestdale School wore blue to represent water protection and the fragile “blue planet” they say would be harmed by the machine gun range.
More than 120 people opposed to the Massachusetts Army National Guard’s plan to build a machine gun range on Joint Base Cape Cod gathered for a rally over the weekend.
Many of the activists, lawmakers, and parents who came to Forestdale School in Sandwich voiced concerns about the Guard’s proposal to clear-cut 170 acres of dense forest and place the range on a watershed protection area that provides drinking water to Upper Cape towns. Locals are also concerned about traffic, noise, and wildlife impacts.
Approximately 200 residents showed up Saturday, June 26 to protest a machine gun firing range proposed by the Massachusetts National Guard at Joint Base Cape Cod (JBCC).
