Land protected by the state Conservation
Commission is peppered throughout the State. Typically
land that is within a certain distance from a river, stream,
marsh, water retention area, ocean or wetlands are controlled
by the conservation commission. Buffer zones may be established
based on the type of vegetation, soil condition or wildlife habitat. Properties
may have part or all of it’s land within a non-buildable
area. Permission may be required to build. Many Cities & Towns
have a state conservation commission office and all construction
must conform to these regulations.
