The Conservation Land Management Committee
| In 2007, the Milford Conservation Commission (MCC) established a committee to manage public use on the town forests and other properties that the Conservation Commission protects. This committee, the Conservation Land Management Committee (CLMC), follows the commission's already established Conservation Land Ordinance. Current members are: Brian Hawkins (chairman), Jon Thunberg (vice-chairman), Diane Fitzpatrick (MCC liaison), Chris Costantino (secretary), Mike Sebas and Larry Kimball. Fred Elkind is the Conservation Coordinator who works part-time in the MCC office in the Town Hall and is the contact person for the committee. The CLMC so far has focused on upgrading the trail systems in town forests. They developed a Trails Manual which was adopted by the Milford Conservation Commission in September of 2008. The CLMC has been applying the standards in the Trails Manual to Mayflower Town Forest and Tucker Brook Town Forest. If you hike in the forests you will notice new blazing and signage, which are explained in the kiosks that have been installed at the trailheads. You will also see newly routed signs at the entrances. |

The CLMC has recruited a large number of volunteers. The MCC office maintains a contact list and sends out notices for upcoming projects. Volunteers can reply and choose projects for which they are interested and available. If you would like more information about the CLMC, or if you would like to sign up to be a Trail Volunteer, contact the Conservation Commission office at 249-0628 or conservation@milford.nh.gov. |
