Commission schedules Right-to-Know training and fields questions about trails and hunting access
Summary
Commissioners agreed to host New Hampshire Municipal Association Right-to-Know training for municipal officials and discussed the scope of a new recreation/trails effort after public questions about hunting access and volunteer trail work.
The Carroll County Commission on May 5 invited the New Hampshire Municipal Association to provide Right-to-Know (open-meeting and records) training for municipal officials and extended the invitation to select members of town governments.
A commissioner proposed the training and asked whether town representatives could participate; staff clarified the session is municipal-official training and said selectmen, administrators and secretaries from area towns would be welcome to attend.
Separately, during public comment and commissioner discussion about forming or renaming a recreation committee to address trails, residents asked how trail development would intersect with hunting access. One commenter warned that walking-trail initiatives in other regions had led to effective hunting restrictions by creating compacted use zones; he urged the county to notify hunting constituencies early in the process. Another public commenter noted Kingswood students previously assisted with trail clearing and suggested the county could resume that partnership.
Commissioners said they would consider hunting-season impacts when planning trails and acknowledged the question requires further study before any trail work begins.
