WEST STOCKBRIDGE — State officials are marking a milestone in land conservation after another 3,525 acres was protected during the 2013 fiscal year, bringing the statewide total to more than 200,000 acres.
The Department of Fish and Game announced Tuesday that it now manages 200,442 acres of conservation land statewide.
State officials and conservationists marked the milestone at the Maple Hill Wildlife Management Area in West Stockbridge.
The Department of Fish and Game managed just 3,375 acres before 1954. But land acquisition has picked up in recent decades. Since 1983, the acquisition of about 30,000 acres was funded by money collected from people who bought fishing, hunting and trapping licenses.
Gov. Deval Patrick's administration said it's invested more than $64 million for land acquisition since 2007 and acquired nearly 40,000 acres.
