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 2010 map is covering the period of July 1 of 2009 through
June of 2010.

Land Acquisitions
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. Certain regulations apply to allowable activities. Information on other permitted and restricted activities on WMAs.
Wildlife Conservation Easements (WCE) are properties where the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife has purchased the development rights and public recreational access. Though the land is still retained by the original owner, the property is open for wildlife related recreation and the Wildlife Management Area regulations apply to the activities on the property. In some cases, there are additional restrictions. Check with the landowner or the Division District office that oversees the property.
