[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Lewisboro 4-9-1985 by L.L. No.
1-1985. Amendments noted where applicable.]
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.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
Pursuing, shooting, killing or capturing (other than trapping
as hereinafter defined) wildlife.
All real property of which the Town of Lewisboro is the fee
owner, whether or not such real property has been declared park land
and all real property over which the Town Board of the Town of Lewisboro
has control within park districts established under the provisions
of Article 12 of the Town Law of the State of New York.
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.
Upon conviction, a violation of this chapter shall be deemed
an offense and punishable by a fine not to exceed $500 or by imprisonment
not to exceed 15 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
