Hunting Season Starts September 1
City of Concord Conservation lands are managed as multi-use land, which means hunting is allowed on most properties. See the link for safety tips for using the trails during hunting season.
Hunters generally stay away from heavily-used trails because noise and foot traffic are not ideal. Most hunting takes place during dusk or dawn, so it is best to avoid trail hiking at those times. If you are not comfortable hiking in areas where hunting is allowed, below is a list of trails where hunting is prohibited:
