EventsContinued VOTE ON WILD AND SCENIC DESIGNATION: At the March 2013 Town Meetings, the Upper Missisquoi and Trout Rivers Wild and Scenic Study is bringing the following article to vote in nine municipalities in the Study area (Berkshire, Richford, Enosburgh, Enosburg Falls, Montgomery, Troy, North Troy, Westfield, and Lowell): To see if the voters of the Town of X will petition the Congress of the United States of America that the upper Missisquoi and Trout Rivers be designated as Wild and Scenic Rivers with the understanding that such designation would be based on the locally-developed rivers Management Plan and would not involve federal acquisition or management of lands. As you can see, designation would be based on the voluntary management plan, draft above. We want the community to make an informed vote, so please send questions about designation either to your local representative on the Study Committee or the Study Coordinator (contact info below). Conservation Commission Gathering Date: Saturday, October 13, 2012 from 4-7 pm Nineteen members of Conservation Commissions from the towns of Montgomery, Georgia, Enosburg, Richford, Cambridge and Johnson attended the meeting. Time was spent on formal introductions and each town discussing projects past and planned. There was also an informal question and answer session concerning specific projects and funding options in a round table style. Todd spoke to the gathering about the generalities of Wild and Scenic designation. Todd spent time bringing all up to speed as to VTWSR's current activities including our draft management plan and the vote at March Town Meeting for designation. The Montgomery Conservation Commission appreciates the opportunity to network with our colleagues from around the area. Todd thanked the VTWSR for their generous support of the event. ~ ~ ~ Enjoy good food, good people, and an opportunity to network with other Conservation Commissions and Conservation Partnerships in Northern Vermont.
