The Conservation Commission, primarily through the Conservation Department, provides comment and guidance on all Town projects involving wetland and natural resource impacts, which can also include land managed by the local non-profit, Westborough Community Land Trust (WCLT), related to the development of the Charm Bracelet Trail. The Commission and staff also provide land stewardship initiatives on approximately 500 acres of municipal conservation land.
Conservation Department staff collaborates with the Department of Public Works to inspect approximately 280 private commercial, industrial, and high-density residential properties for yearly stormwater-system compliance.
