The Conservation Commission is the official agency specifically charged with the protection of a community's natural resources.   The Conservation Commission, under the powers of the Wetlands Protection Act (Massachusetts General Law c.131, 40) and the Town of Westwood's Wetlands Bylaw (Chapter 392), functions to regulate work in or near wetlands and river resource areas and encourages and works towards the acquisition and management of Conservation Land. The Conservation Commission also serves as the Stormwater Management Authority, and advises other municipal officials and boards on conservation issues that relate to their areas of responsibility.

Starting January 1, 2017, all Conservation Commission filings must include electronic copies of the application form and all required plans and submittal materials.
