Additionally, the Conservation Commission protects land by accepting gifts of land, conservation restrictions and acquisition of land in fee and trail easements. The Conservation Department assists the Commission with the management of these protected parcels and trails.

Open Space & Recreation Planning

Join the Bolton Conservation Commission on January 10, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. in the cafeteria at the Florence Sawyer School to update the Open Space and Recreation Plan.  The Plan provides the basis for open space acquisition for passive and active recreation, wildlife habitat, and natural resource protection.  

The Commission is asking for your help to identify and implement actions over the next 7 years to support of the objectives identified below:

  • Preserve the rural and historical character of Bolton
  • Protect the water resources of Bolton
  • Preserve and encourage agriculture
  • Protect natural resources and wildlife habitats
  • Conserve open space areas for public use
  • Provide active recreation opportunities to Bolton citizens
The 2005 Open Space and Recreation Plan and 2010 Expanded Action Plan is online at http://www.townofbolton.com/pages/BoltonMA_Conservation/Open_Space

For more information contact Carol Gumbart at the Conservation Commission office, concom@townofbolton.com or 978-779-3304.

Restoring America’s Rivers & Communities and Dams

Two videos are available to borrow from the Bolton Public Library. The videos are titled “Restoring America’s Rivers: Preparing for the Future” and “Taking a Second Look:  Communities and Dams”.  These videos show the ways that both Town officials and community members have worked together in other communities when they were faced with the decisions of rebuilding or removing dams.  Each video is 30 minutes long.  Refreshments will be provided by the Bolton Conservation Commission.
