"The fire is also burning deep into the ground, causing trees to fall due to their roots being weakened by the fire.

"So far, the fire hasn't burned over Dungeon Rock and on the road towards Jackson's Path.

"The smoke from the flames has now cast a giant cloud over the city of Lynn.

"'Like a couple of bombs went off, and a lot of smoke and my concern at my house, I have my hose ready to go in case, its coming this way in case it goes the other way toward my house im gonna spray the house down with my hose.' said John Petersen who lives near the reservation."

LYNN WOODS PRESERVATION

Here is the start of singer-songwriter Don White's letter about the half-century fight to preserve the Lynn Woods from development. The letter proved to be too long to post here in full.

Conservation Restriction for Lynn Woods

Last week the mayor of Lynn signed the conservation restriction for Lynn Woods and yesterday that document was officially registered.

Surprisingly few people know the entire story of what it took to get to the place where the Lynn Woods Reservation is finally, officially, legally, and permanently protected from development.
