The Town Board of the Town of Lewisboro finds that, because
of the use of the various Town-owned and Town-controlled lands for
governmental purposes and for both active and passive recreation,
hunting and trapping on said lands is dangerous to others using said
lands and therefore detrimental to the health, safety and welfare
of the residents of the Town of Lewisboro.

meanings indicated:

as hereinafter defined) wildlife.

TRAPPING
Taking, killing and capturing wildlife with traps, deadfalls
and other devices commonly used to take wildlife.
No person shall engage in hunting or trapping on Town lands.
