Bolton Flats WMA: Due to several years of flooding and the inability to manage the vegetation, Bolton Flats will not be stocked in 2024. MassWildlife is working to improve habitat conditions at this location with the goal of resuming stocking in 2025. Pheasants normally stocked at Bolton Flats will be redistributed to other stocking locations in the Central District.
