Get Involved

The Melrose Conservation Commission has positions open for new members and alternate members starting immediately. The commission is tasked with protecting open space, applying and enforcing the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, and reviewing storm-water impacts of proposed projects that affect wetlands or floodplains.

Meetings are held on the third Thursday of the month. Any resident of Melrose can apply and anyone with an interest in protecting the natural resources in Melrose is encouraged to apply. Resumes can be sent to:

Melrose Conservation Commission
Melrose City Hall
526 Main Street
Melrose MA 02176

All Conservation Commissioners are volunteers and are appointed by the mayor with the approval of the Board of Aldermen. Alternate members are also needed and do not have to be appointed by the Mayor. Alternates do not vote but can provide help and guidance to the commission as well as assist with projects.
