Conservation Commission

For filing procedures and deadlines please visit the Filing Information page.  All submittals may be mailed or delivered to the Conservation Office at Town Hall. A copy of all plans should be emailed to the Administrative Agent as well. 

Seven volunteer Pembroke residents are required for a full conservation commission. Each member is appointed by the Select Board for a period of three years. The members are responsible for hearing and deciding matters under the jurisdiction of the Wetlands Protection Act. Permits are issued contingent on the type and extent of each project.  

The commission is complemented by an agent and an administrative agent. The main responsibility of the agent and administrative agent is to obtain and disseminate information to the commission members to help them make informed decisions regarding permit applications and to ensure projects are in compliance with the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act regulations.  

The conservation office, located on the first floor of the town hall, is open Monday 8:00AM to 6:30PM, Tuesday through Thursday from 8:00AM to 4:30PM, and on Friday from 8:00AM to 12:00PM, but meetings and inspections may be scheduled outside of those hours to meet the needs of the commission as well as the applicants who propose projects.

For conservation related questions, please call (781) 293-4674 to speak to the administrative agent, Andrew Wandell. For convenience, the administrative agent may be reached via email at awandell@townofpembrokemass.org.

Not sure if you need to file? Call the office for assistance.  Any work proposed within 100-feet of a wetland area or 200-feet of a riverfront area is under the jurisdiction of the Pembroke Conservation Commission. We're here to help you accomplish what you need in the best way for you, our town, and the environment.
