The Conservation Commission is appointed by the Select Board and consists of five members. The commission is responsible for overseeing the protection and preservation of the town's wetlands and natural resources. Any construction, building, or project which may potentially affect a wetland or natural resouce in town must be approved through the Conservation Commission.
If you are filing a Notice of Intent, a Request for Determination of Applicability, or an Abbreviated Notice of Resource Area Delineation, you will need to publish a legal notice in the Greenfield Recorder and it must circulate a minimum of 5 business days in advance of the Conservation Commission meeting at which your project will be discussed. The Conservation Commission must be made aware of your request at least two weeks prior to the meeting, so that it can be included in the agenda. Email conservation@townofleyden.com to coordinate at which meeting your project will be discussed prior to running the ad in the Recorder.
