Special use of Andover conservation land

Conservation land under the care and custody of the Andover Conservation Commission is open dawn to dusk for use by all members of the public for many recreational purposes.  These “Lawful Activities” of Andover Conservation Land are listed on our website here: Rules and Regulations of Andover Conservation Land. Standard allowable uses include hiking, birdwatching, and leashed dog walking. 

If you are interested in a special use of conservation land that is not specifically listed as a “Lawful Activity,” you will need to be granted specific permission from the Andover Conservation Commission. Please fill out the following form and submit it to the Andover Conservation Division for review at least three weeks prior to the desired date of activity.  Examples of special uses that have been permitted in the past include Eagle Scout projects, scientific studies, running races, boat rack installations, and special one-time events. Remember, always "carry in and carry out!"
