Ann Kerrey, chair of the Putney Conservation Commission, presented the commission’s materials on a town-owned donated 50-acre parcel on Route 5 during the Nov. 13 Selectboard meeting.
Kerrey said a state study identified important wildlife road crossings and connectivity corridors affecting that parcel and showed maps and priority-designation figures included in the commission’s attachments. The presentation outlined how the parcel sits within Putney’s habitat blocks and noted adjacent conserved lands and regional conservation design priorities.
The commission noted there are open seats on the Conservation Commission and described next steps for considering conservation options for the parcel, including further review of biophysical priorities and consultation with regional partners. No formal action was taken by the Selectboard at the Nov. 13 meeting; the materials were presented for information and follow-up.
