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 the Natural Resource Inventory
You are encouraged to participate in all of our pursuits.
We plan periodic outings and educational programs and have
finished the Natural
Resource 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.
Attend a meeting of the Conservation Commission (3rd Wednesday
of each month) or the Energy Committee (2nd Thursday of each
month) or read our minutes
to keep up with what's going on.
