Mike,
When I planted Native Son Bernard Doyle at Pierce Park in
Leominster I contacted the head of the Trustees location in Leominster to see if
it could be okay. He thought it sounded great and even gave me the idea of
dedicating the box to Bernard Doyle (I was originally thinking of dedicating it
to the Tapioca King). I didn't seek permission to plant the one at
Bear's Den but I think it's under the same jurisdiction as Leominster so,
hopefully, it's okay too.

On the subject of hunting, the NPS requires special permits for the right to hunt their land. Since they have an economic interest, banning the practice would be detrimental to them. This is above and beyond the licences that hunters and fisherman need from the state in which they live.
As for National Monuments, I am currently working with the Springfield Armory, which is run by the Park Service, to get permission to place two boxes on their property. One will be inside the old armory building itself, the other out on the grounds. I think we must try to engage the people that actually work at these sites, and get permission on a case by case basis. If we can do this, and show that we are responsible folks who are an asset to the park system, we'll have a better chance of getting this ban overturned.
Incidentally, does anyone know where this official policy is recorded?
As a final question, to those of us in the Massachusetts area, does anyone know if the Trustees of the Reservations have an official policy regarding letterboxes? I know we've already planted on some of their reservations (I've done one myself), but now I'm wondering if we'll have this problem with them as well.
