9 & 51 Maple Street Conservation Restriction Survey

The Town of Wenham is working with Essex County Greenbelt to place a Conservation Restriction (CR) on the Streeter, soon to be Essex County Greenbelt, property at 9 and 51 Maple Street.

A Conservation Restriction is a permanent legal agreement that protects land in its natural, open, and undeveloped condition. It limits certain uses of the land in order to protect wildlife habitat, water resources, scenic views, and other conservation values. Once recorded, a conservation restriction stays in place forever.

While development and motorized uses are prohibited, conservation restrictions often allow public access for passive, non-motorized recreation and education, as long as those activities do not harm the land or its natural resources.

This survey asks for your input on which recreational and educational activities should be allowed or not allowed on the property. Your feedback will help inform how the Conservation Restriction is finalized and how the property is managed in the future.
1.Are you a Wenham resident?
2.Indicate if you think that dogs should be allowed on the property.
3.Indicate if you think that cross-country skiing and snowshoeing should be allowed on the property.
4.Indicate if you think that horseback riding should be allowed on the property.
5.Indicate if you think that seasonal hunting by permit should be allowed on the property.
6.Indicate if you think that cycling or mountain biking should be allowed on the property.
7.Is there anything else you would like the Town to consider when deciding what activities are allowed on the property?
Your feedback will help guide decisions about how this land is protected and enjoyed by the community for generations to come.
