Conservation Commission

The Open Meeting Law requires public bodies to create and approve minutes in a timely manner. A “timely manner” is considered to be within the next three public body meetings or 30 days from the date of the meeting, whichever is later, unless the public body can show good cause for further delay. The Attorney General encourages minutes to be approved at a public body’s next meeting whenever possible. The law requires that existing minutes be made available to the public within ten days of a request, whether they have been approved or remain in draft form. Materials or other exhibits used by the public body in an open meeting must also be made available to the public within ten days of a request. 

The Conservation Commission is the local regulatory body which has jurisdiction over natural resource areas protected under the State of Massachusetts regulations, Chapter 131 of the Massachusetts General Laws and the local Wetland Regulations of the Town of Norfolk. Their mission is to protect Norfolk's resource areas in accordance with the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act, town bylaws, and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection's program policies. In addition, the Commission is active in conservation land management.

Meetings are generally held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. Please click the "Town Calendar" link on this page for scheduled meetings, agendas, and minutes, and to sign up for notifications.
