This page is documenting violations of the Wetlands Protection Act, Town Wetlands Protection Bylaw and Conservation Restriction that Division of Fish and Wildlife is responsible for enforcing on the Town Forest in Plymouth. The Town is violating the CR and the state is doing nothing. In fact, it is trying to WEAKEN the CR. More information on that is on this page.
