Upcoming Events

  • Conservation Commission Community Education event

    Introduction to mapping utilizing the Town's online mapping system and the State's Granit online mapping system. We'd pick a town parcel or two to use as a demonstration on the big screen, picking a feature or two, and maybe make a quick map then if folks wanted to bring their laptop they could look at their parcel and ask questions about how to use the mapping features. 

    Tuesday, February 18th at 6:30 pm at PRML with a snow date of the 25th.
