Forest and Trails Committee
In 2020 the town engaged experts in forestry management to help the community assess our vision and desires for the two town-owned parcels of land, the Fournier Lot and the Town Farm Forest. The products of that contract are two very detailed Forest Stewardship Plans.
During the process of developing those plans, it became clear after surveying our community that our top priorities for these parcels were:
- To value the gifts of clean air, water, carbon sequestration and to support the biodiversity that our forests provide.
- To enjoy the beauty of wildlife and nature allowing only the natural forest processes to change over time, while also maintaining our access to the woodlands.
In June 2021 the Forest & Trails Committee was formed to implement these plans. We see our tasks as the following:
- Foster community, education and connection with our woodlands.
- Prioritize and implement aspects of the Forest Stewardship Plans and encourage the health of the town forests.
The committee generally meets monthly on the fourth Wednesday at 6:30pm. Please join us.
