Commission Information

The Conservation Commission is Pepperell's steward for town-owned conservation land and local administrator of Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act. Working with landowners, the Commission ensures that our natural resources are protected and that construction and environmental alterations are accomplished in compliance with state laws. The Commission also works with and advises other town bodies, including the Planning Board, Board of Health, and the Building Inspector's office on natural resources issues and potential land conservation.

The Commission is made up of seven members, appointed by the Pepperell Select Board, serving three-year terms.
