Conservation Commission

Created in 2017, the Conservation Commission is a staffed working group completing conservation-related tasks with the primary purpose of supporting the Planning Commission and Development Review Board. The commission is currently composed of seven (7) volunteers appointed by the Selectboard, possessing related background experience. The Conservation Commission works under the guidance of the Town Planner, who provides technical assistance and serves as liaison between the Conservation Commission, Planning Commission, DRB, Selectboard and other related Town departments.

Duties

2. To undertake inventories, studies and other projects as requested, for use by the Planning Commission and Town Planner in updating the Town Plan and Zoning and Subdivision Regulation
3. Provide community education and outreach on conservation issues as needed
