Conservation commission to share forest-block maps and recommend conservation-friendly zoning
Summary
Fayston Conservation Commission will share Arrowood maps on forest blocks and wildlife corridors with the Planning Commission and may propose conservation overlay language and landowner guidance for key connectivity areas.
The Fayston Conservation Commission agreed to provide Arrowood-produced maps that identify forest blocks and wildlife corridors to the Fayston Planning Commission to inform the 2028 Town Plan draft.
Commissioners suggested including language on forest connectivity and exploring conservation overlay districts. They discussed potential non-burdensome guidance for large-tract landowners to encourage voluntary conservation and recommended drafting practical steps landowners could take in key areas.
The minutes record FCC survey response counts used as context: Chase Brook had 90 responses and Boyce Hill had 241 responses; the commission plans to share those survey results with the Planning Commission.
