Conservation Commission:
The Conservation Commission was formed by a petitioned warrant article at the 1971 annual Town Meeting. They are a Board made up of volunteers who work to protect the Town’s natural resources. They are tasked with such duties as conducting natural resources inventories, coordinating land protection, and wetland permit reviews. After the Town Forests were created, the Conservation Commission was tasked with maintaining them.
