The Washington Conservation Commission’s primary goal
is to work with our neighbors to provide for the protection
and appreciation of the natural resources and environmental
assets found in the town of Washington. We are working to
guard our ecological systems by promoting responsible forest
management, conservation, environmental education, use of
renewable energy, and biodiversity. We encourage scenic and
historic preservation and know that an enhanced community
awareness of the natural treasures of Washington will inevitably
lead to greater commitment to their careful stewardship and
preservation for future generations.
Our primary areas of focus are:
> Wetlands Permit Applications
> Conservation properties
> Conservation of forested, agricultural and open space
land
> Education and community outreach
> Working with all town boards to protect our natural resources
> Compiling a Natural Resources Inventory
You are encouraged to participate in all of our undertakings.
We plan periodic outings and educational programs and are
actively working on a Natural Resources Inventory for the
town of Washington. Your participation and input are vital
to the success of these endeavors. We hope that our website
will be valuable as a means of sharing our activities and
programs and answering questions you may have. Please contact
us by e-mail or call any of our members. |
