Conservation Commission

The Conservation Commission meets at 7:00pm , the second Thursday of each month, at the John Bauer Senior Center (AKA the White Building - 17 West Street) and devotes a great deal of time to ensuring compliance of local projects with the Wetlands Protection Act. The Commission receives and acts on requests for Determination of Applicability, Notices of Intent and Certificate of Compliances.The Commission is comprised of between three and seven members who are appointed for three year terms by the Board of Selectmen.

The Commission assesses the applicability of the Wetlands Protection Act to particular projects, to verify wetland delineations, to check for wetland violations and to monitor projects for compliance.
