Would you like to be heard at a Conservation Commission Meeting? All applications should be delivered by 12:00pm 2 weeks before the scheduled hearing.
The Conservation Commission protects Bellingham's wetlands and manages its conservation lands. The commission issues permits for projects that follow state and local wetlands regulations.
The commission reviews all proposed activity within regulated wetland areas. These areas include any work within within 100 feet of wetlands, 200 feet from a perennial stream or within the 100 year floodplain. You will need to prepare an application if you are planning work like:
- Landscaping
- Cutting trees or shrubs
- Building an addition
- Building a deck or patio
- Expanding or changing driveways
- Grading, excavating, or filling
- Changing stormwater runoff patterns
- Any other activity that may affect wetland resource areas or buffer zones
Are there any documents you would like to review for an ongoing project? Do you have a question or concern that the Conservation Department can help with? Give us a call or drop by the office. If you leave a message please leave your name and number so we can get back to you on addressing your concerns!
