Conservation Commissions

		Site Search:

Massachusetts Conservation Commissions were formed under the Conservation Commission Act of 1957 which gives the Commission responsibility for open space and for the protection of other natural resources in their community. The Conservation Commission is responsible for administering the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and any local wetlands bylaws the community may enact.

The Berkshire Conservation Agent Program (BCAP) provides technical assistance and advice to Berkshire County Conservation Commissions and Commissioners.

The Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions (MACC) has lots of useful information for Conservation Commissions. MACC has an invasive plant website designed especially for Conservation Commissioners. It provides guidance on permit and project review, restoration, conservation lands management, and provides sample documents from actual projects.

BEAT videotapes and televises meetings of the Pittsfield Conservation Commission.
