- Discussed the need to survey town conservation properties…: (Property on Currierville Rd, Hadley Road, Town Forest). Discussed what we hope to accomplish and the various degrees of surveying; (Control points, pins, rods) etc, will cost more. They require more research, more labor and that equals more money. The most cost sensible way to go may to do a survey as if it were for Tree Harvest forestry purposes. This is define the area and then the conservation commission can determine if signs are appropriate or not.
