Fayston flags wildlife-corridors project as complex; ARPA funds and VF&W outreach planned
Summary
Commission noted the complexity of a wildlife-corridors project, cited $8,000 in ARPA funding with extension period through Dec. 2026, and agreed to invite Jens Hilke (VT Fish & Wildlife) to the October meeting to discuss feasibility and data collection.
Commission members described the wildlife-corridors effort as substantial and flagged substantive challenges based on comparable work by Arrowwood Environmental. The minutes record $8,000 in ARPA funds allocated to the project, with an extension period that runs through December 2026; Andrea Henderson will consult with Patti Lewis about the potential to reallocate ARPA funds.
To better understand the feasibility of collecting corridor data, the commission intends to invite Jens Hilke of Vermont Fish & Wildlife to the October meeting. The record frames the project as exploratory at this stage, with staff outreach and subject-matter consultation planned before recommending further work.
