Hunting is allowed with written permission on some Greenbelt land for white-tailed deer, waterfowl, and certain other species. Hunting is allowed without written permission on a few Greenbelt properties as a result of conservation restrictions (easements) held by the Mass. Division of Fisheries and Wildlife.
Camping is not allowed on Greenbelt properties. All Greenbelt properties are open sunrise to sunset.
