WILTON An increase in wetlands infractions being doled out in recent weeks has left some residents disgruntled and wanting more education on the proper permitting process.
Mostly as a result of landscaping projects, where trees are cleared in wetland areas without first consulting the Inland Wetlands Commission for a permit, infractions have been seen more frequently by Wilton’s Department of Environmental Affairs Director Mike Conklin and his staff. Permits must be obtained to make any changes to one’s property either on a wetland or watercourse area, or within 100 feet of those areas.
