THE GAME PRESERVES OF MASSACHUSETTS * 



This map of Massachusetts shows the areas within the 

 Commonwealth that are at present set aside as preserves. 

 These areas are constantly being modified and added to. 

 They naturally fall into three groups. 



1. Areas controlled or owned by the Fish and Game 

 Commissioners for investigations and information as fish 

 hatcheries and breeding grounds, originally taken under 

 various special acts and now posted under Chapter 178, 

 Acts of 1902.1 



2. All public lands within the Commonwealth are 

 made preserves by the terms of Chapter 362, Acts of 

 19094 



3. Areas that include private property placed under 

 the control of the Fish and Game Commissioners volun- 

 tarily by the owners for the increase and protection of 

 birds and small quadrapeds, Chapter 410, Acts of 191 1.§
