Wildlife Land Acquisitions

Below are maps of fish and wildlife lands acquired by MassWildlife. In many cases, the properties add onto existing wildlife lands and waters. Sometimes, new, separate properties are created as a new Wildlife Management Area. This listing is updated annually and follows the fiscal year which is defined as July 1 of one year through June 30 of the next year. For example, the 2008 map is covering the period of July 1 of 2007 through June of 2008.

State Wildlife Managment Areas (WMA) are open to many kinds of wildlife related recreation; fishing, hunting, trapping, bird and nature observation, boating and hiking to name a few. Information on other permitted and restricted activities on WMAs.
