Mission Statement: The Conservation Department is a division of the Methuen Department of Economic and Community Development with the Commission which consists of seven volunteer members serving as commissioners, two volunteer members serving as alternate commissioners and a paid staff consisting of the Conservation Officer and a head clerk.
The commission has the responsibility of protecting the interests of the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, MGL Chapter 131, s40 and the Methuen Wetlands Protection Ordinance, Chapter 12, M.C.M.
