​Conserving land for all of Newtown

The Newtown Conservation Commission is dedicated to the acquisition, preservation and protection of 2,000 acres of town-owned open space. In addition, the Commission is actively working to encourage healthy habitats and increase the diversity of our native wildlife and vegetation.

The Commission works with Land Use officials to identify and acquire properties. We manage open spaces by removing invasive plants, maintaining habitats for wildlife and providing access to the public by developing trails and building bridges and parking areas so that residents can enjoy the land that has been preserved for future generations.
