What should I do if I see someone breaking environmental laws such as illegal dumping, fish and game violations or abusing public lands?
Do not attempt to deal with any violators yourself, as most violators would engage you in a hostile confrontation. Do call the Conservation Office at (978) 374-2334 or Haverhill Police at (978) 373-1212 and report what you have seen and ask that a Conservation Officer investigate the situation. Jot down important information such as motor vehicle license plates, time, date, description of the violators or any information that would be helpful in the apprehension of these lawbreakers.
