City of Framingham Seeking Applicants for the Conservation Commission

 

FRAMINGHAM - The City of Framingham is seeking multiple applicants for the 7-member Conservation Commission. The Framingham Conservation Commission was established in 1961 to protect and manage open space for the City as well as administer the Wetlands Protection Act and the Wetlands Protection Ordinance. 

The Conservation Commission is responsible for implementing local, state, and federal wetland laws, managing conservation land, and engaging the public in conservation efforts.

The Commission assumes responsibility for the management of more than 400 acres of Conservation land owned by the City including Macomber, Arthur Morency Woods, Carol Getchell Trail, Wittenborg Woods, and Cochituate Brook Reservation, as well as numerous other properties. 

At this time, the Conservation Commission meetings are held virtually. 

The Commission meets on the first and third Wednesday of the month.
