Attending
a public meeting such as a Conservation Commission
meeting is an excellent
way to find out about the issues facing your town
and community. Attending even one meeting each year makes
a huge difference in your understanding of the local environment.
Listen to people’s
concerns and ideas. Speak up with your own. Whether you come to
listen or to talk, attending a meeting of any sort in your town will
put you more in touch with the local environment.
To find out about
when meetings are being held in your town
by organizations such as the Conservation Commission, the Town
Planning Board and others, call your Town Hall.
