Conservation Commission information

On Town Meeting Day, one of the articles the town will be voting on is whether to form a Conservation Commission.

What a Fairlee Conservation Commission could do:

• Develop and maintain inventories of the Town’s natural resources to assist in their conservation for the benefit of the townspeople.
• Host workshops and community events to encourage understanding and appreciation of the local environment
• Accept grant funding and gifts of land for conservation purposes
• Serve as a resource for the town’s residents for conservation options and opportunities such as weatherization programs.
• Advise the Selectboard and Planning Commission on natural resource issues
• Work to create healthy and sustainable communities for present and future generations.

 

A Conservation Commission would not operate in the Town Forest; the Fairlee Forest Board manages our Town Forest.
