The Commission assists the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Chief Executive Officer in developing and updating the Town plan of development and other plans which impact the use of such areas.   The Conservation Commission prepares and distributes trail maps and conducts public outreach and education events to promote the protection and use of the Town’s natural resources.
