Current responsibilities include:  
Educating the community regarding conservation ballot items, recycling, and habitat conservation.
Consulting with the Planning Board concerning buffering and Land Use issues.

No experience required, just an interest in preserving our Town's natural resources. Please call the Town Office at 244.5404 if you are interested.
