The Conservation Department and Conservation Commission are responsible for permitting and enforcement of the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (Link to website) and the more protective Wetland Bylaw, Chapter 172. Under the Conservation Commission Act (link) they are charged with the protection of a community’s natural resources. They are involved with open space acquisition and the management of conservation lands.
