All meetings of the Open Space Committee are open to the public. The committee usually meets the third Tuesday of the month, from 7 to 9 p.m., at Town Hall. Please contact the Town Clerk's Office (652-3280) or Town Supervisor's Office (652-7590) if you plan to attend, as the meeting dates are subject to change. For a detailed listing of town meetings, please visit the Meetings and Events Page. Progress An Open Space Survey was completed between March and September of 2007. Some 326 surveys were completed and indicated that 86% of respondants favored protecting open space. Residents gave high priority to forests, woodlands and wildlife habitat, followed by stream corridors, wetlands, scenic views, and farmland. The committee has identified, using a 10-category ranking system, parcels of open space land in the town with high natural resource value with priority for protection. Meetings with land owners are being held to answer questions about conservation easements and potential tax benefits for conservation easement donations.
