Request rare species information

In light of current events, all non-essential state employees are working remotely. Electronic submittals, in addition to the required paper submittal, of Notices of Intent, MESA Project Review Checklists, Conservation and Management Permit applications, and Information Requests will now be requested. An electronic copy of the complete submittal (including all attachments) should be sent using a file share service to MESAReview@mass.gov.  

Please ensure that the entire electronic submittal, including attachments and site plans, are accessible and legible and that the link to download the electronic submittal can be accessed by others (not just the direct recipient). Due to volume restrictions of the mass.gov email system, please do not directly send the electronic submittal as a PDF.  Please be prepared to provide copies of electronic submittals in an alternative format (such as reduced file sizes or zip files) if requested. The electronic copy may be sent in advance of or concurrent with the paper copy.

The thirty day regulatory review period will not begin until a complete paper copy of the submittal, including all attachments and the filing fee, is received by the Division. The paper copy must be mailed to:

1 Rabbit Hill Road, Westbrough, MA, 01581, Attention: Regulatory Review

To receive a list of state-listed species that coincide with a particular property you will need to send us the request form and a map showing the location of the property. The fee is not required if the request is for conservation purposes or habitat management and you are a non-profit conservation group, government agency or are working with a government agency.
