Hunting, fishing, or trapping of any kind is prohibited on any NRT properties. Hunting is permitted on many conservation properties managed by the Easton Conservation Commission. Hunters are responsible for knowing the property they are hunting on. Any hunters who are crossing NRT property to access other land must not be actively hunting; breach must be open and empty for firearms, and arrows must be quivered for archery. Cameras, tree stands, blinds, or other such equipment is not permitted, and if installed on NRT property will be removed without notice. Regardless of location, the NRT strongly encourages people and pets participating in outdoor activities to wear bright colors, such as neon orange or yellow, for safety reasons when outdoors during hunting season. For more information on hunting regulations and season, please contact the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife or the Easton Conservation Commission for more information.
