The mission of the Conservation Commission as outlined in our bylaws is:
1. to inventory (with landowner permission) Brookfield’s natural, scenic, wildlife and ecological resources and other lands which have agricultural, forestry, educational, cultural, recreational or archaeological values in which the public has an interest.
2. to recommend conservation actions to protect and conserve Brookfield’s natural resources.
3. to help conserve all water and wetland resources.
4. to encourage the protection of sensitive natural areas and species.
5. to increase awareness of conservation and outdoor recreational goals in overall land use planning and zoning.
6. to encourage recreational uses on town conservation land that have a minimal impact on the land.
7. to provide educational programs about local natural resources.
8. to make recommendations to, and cooperate and communicate with the Selectboard, Planning Commission and other groups and organizations having similar concerns, and with appropriate agencies of the regional, state, and federal government.
