Forestry Committee

The Forestry Committee is chartered with the over all management of the Washington town forests. Its charter includes the management of timber, firewood and other natural resources through controlled planting, timber stand improvement, thinning, harvesting, reforestation and other multiple use programs consistent with the public interests. We are also responsible for the management of two tracts of conservation property, which are technically not forests, because we have the resources to manage these tracts for the town.
