Workshop on Land Conservation Priorities to be Held in Bremen January 27

Bremen residents are invited to a public workshop at 7 p.m. on Thursday, January 27, to help prioritize land conservation choices for the town’s future.
The workshop, sponsored by the Bremen Conservation Commission, is an opportunity for town citizens to express their preferences as to how the town’s Conservation Account should be used. The town established the account in 2008 for the purpose of acquiring land, easements and rights-of-way to maintain open space for Bremen’s future, and has appropriated funds to the account for the last three years. The Conservation Account has received additional funding from donations and events held by the Conservation Commission.
Chairman Dennis Prior said the Conservation Commission wants to better understand what types of land Bremen residents see as most important to future land conservation, such as access to ponds and working waterfront, scenic views, wildlife habitat, recreational areas etc. The workshop will be an important part of the learning process and a way to plan effectively for the future. He believes that the commission is set to undertake its most important work in the next few months starting with this workshop.

This is an important planning workshop and we strongly encourage the public's participation.
