Conservation Commission budget approved; members praise Jordan Brook stewardship
Summary
The board approved the Conservation Commission FY27 budget of $18,250 and commended Moren for field work protecting Jordan Brook; members noted intermunicipal grant work and on-the-ground inspections as examples of the commission's value.
The board took up the Conservation Commission FY27 request for $18,250 and received a brief report from Moren explaining that the commission's request has remained stable for more than a decade. Members praised Moren's frequent field work, her efforts to maintain water clarity and trout habitat in Jordan Brook, and her role in securing federal grant support with neighboring municipalities.
The commission's modest operating request was approved by voice vote. Board members highlighted a recent site visit with the police chief and planning staff to inspect property near the Crystal Mall and said such on-the-ground engagement informed later projects and grant opportunities.
