[MassHistPres] Stone walls

[Diane Gilbert]

Aren't there laws against removing stone walls?  I know it's the case for
"scenic roads". So what about presumably private landowners and the
permitting process? Any land in southeastern MA and elsewhere in the
Commonwealth would have had stone walls at some point in time after land was
cleared for farmland. Thanks for sending this alert along.  Perhaps someone
out there knows what¹s going on along Rt 24....the usual highway
construction work, no doubt.  Why not move the stones if the wall has to or
is permitted to be destroyed?  We¹ve lost many of our emblematic stone wall
already.
