A. Land owned by private, public and nonprofit owners may be permanently protected open space (“Article 97 land”), provided that they have been dedicated to such uses as conservation or recreational use by deed. Municipal properties may also be protected via the Town Meeting Vote or City Council Order to acquire them. Article 97 refers to Article 97 of the Articles of Amendment to the State Constitution.
