Selectboard approves renaming Saunders River Access and directs full management plan
Summary
By consensus the Selectboard approved renaming Saunders River Access to Saunders Conservation Area and directed the Conservation Commission to prepare a full town management plan that incorporates the Vermont River Conservancy stewardship plan; parcel is roughly 54 acres and intended primarily for flood‑resiliency and conservation.
The Selectboard agreed by consensus to change the name of the Saunders parcel from Saunders River Access to Saunders Conservation Area and asked the Conservation Commission to prepare a full town management plan. Kristen Underwood said the parcel (acquired 2013 and expanded in 2020) is roughly 54 acres and functions primarily for flood resiliency and conservation rather than active boat access, and noted the Vermont River Conservancy already maintains an easement stewardship plan.
Carolyn Dash described the project as a conservation‑reserve success that leveraged additional grant and in‑kind support and said a full town plan would add local management detail; the Board directed the Commission to include the conservancy stewardship plan as an appendix and to prepare the full plan for Board review.
