Conservation
The Conservation Commission administers the Mass. Wetlands Protection Act (M.G.L. Ch. 131 §40) and the Topsfield General Wetlands Bylaw (Ch. 62). Any activity within 100 feet of any wetland resource area or 200 feet of a perennial stream requires review and may require a permit from the Conservation Commission.
