Sudbury is a community that has a supplemental Bylaw to the Massachusetts Wetland bylaw. It is commonly known as the SWAB (Sudbury Wetland Administration Bylaw).

Residents who live in an area requiring Conservation Commission approval to work within the jurisdictional wetlands, are encouraged to read both bylaws and call or email ConCom@sudbury.ma.us with any questions to assist you before you undertake the proposed project. Thank you.

The Sudbury Conservation Commission was established in 1962 to protect local natural resources and features and to act as stewards of the town’s conservation properties.

Mission Statement:

To preserve, protect, and improve the Town’s valuable water, land, plant, and animal resources for the benefit of present and future generations (under the legal authority granted under The Conservation Commission Act, by the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, and by the Sudbury Wetlands Administration Bylaw); to foster community involvement in the protection and enjoyment of Sudbury’s open spaces and natural resources through education and stewardship; and to balance the interests of jurisdictional projects with the public benefits provided by wetland resource areas, to guide Sudbury’s future, under a fair and open public hearing process.

All of our meetings are open to the public and we encourage you to attend any and all meetings that might interest you.
