The Blandford Conservation Commission will be available on September 23, 2024 between 6:00 and 7:00 PM at the Blandford Town Hall to receive deer hunting permit applications for Town–owned Conservation properties.

The Conservation properties include the Knittel Conservation Area on Herrick Road, Shepard Farm Conservation Area on Route 23 and the Long Pond Conservation Area on North Blandford Road. If more applications are received than the allotted number of permits for each area, the permits will be selected on a random basis. If additional permits are available after September 26, they will be issued on first come-first serve basis by contacting the Conservation Commission.

Applications will only be accepted from those that present a valid Massachusetts hunting or sporting license at the time of application and the license/customer number must be entered on the application. Each applicant must personally submit his or her own application. Successful Applicants will be issued a permit to hunt in only one of the above Conservation properties. Permits issued will only be valid for the 2024 Deer Hunting Seasons. Permit Applications will be available at the Town Hall on September 23, 2024 at the Conservation Commission Office at 6:00 PM. For further information or questions, please contact the Conservation Commission at (413) 848-4279, extension 202.
