Is Savage Hill WCE the same place as Savage Hill WMA?
No. They're adjacent but legally distinct: the WMA is a roughly 37-acre parcel MassWildlife owns outright, while the WCE is a separate 234-acre conservation easement acquired in 2001 over otherwise separately owned land about half a mile away. Both fall under MassWildlife's Savage Hill holdings.
Can I bring my dog to Savage Hill Wildlife Conservation Easement?
No townwide leash requirement. The dog by-law works through its nuisance-dog definition: a dog off its keeper's premises counts as a nuisance dog unless it is under the control of a person competent to control it, or it is not a threat to public safety. Posted signs at the site take precedence.
What rules should I know at Savage Hill Wildlife Conservation Easement?
Active hunting may occur in season, as with the adjoining WMA land.
