Boyce Hill Steering Committee Announces Series of Public Visioning Forums
Most who know Boyce Hill Town Forest, a recent gift of land to the Town of Fayston, consider it a special place. Featuring a pond, spectacular views, open terrain, opportunities for apple and berry picking, and historic remnants of its hill farming heritage, it has been a secret spot for locals for decades. Now a public place, what should its future look like?
The Boyce Hill Town Forest Steering Committee invites you to share your thoughts and vision for the property to inform the management plan they're developing. During a series of four Public Visioning Forums to be held via Zoom, they'll share what they're learning about the property and open the meeting to the public for questions and input.

The first forum, to be held Wednesday, April 28 at 7:00 pm will cover Land Use and
Management Planning Considerations for Town Forests. Ethan Tapper, Chittenden County
Town Forester, and Liza Walker of the Vermont Land Trust will present. The forum will be
moderated by Peter Forbes, Fayston resident, professional writer and facilitator, and co-owner of the Knoll Farm.
During the second forum on Wednesday, May 19 at 7:00 pm, the discussion will center on
Boyce Hill's natural resources. Grace Glynn, a field naturalist with DuBois & King who
conducted the Natural Resources Inventory last fall will present, and the question and comment session will be facilitated by Jenna Koloski of Vermont Council on Rural Development.
The Wednesday, June 9th forum, also at 7:00 pm will focus on recreation. Becca Washburn, Director of Lands Administration and Recreation at VT Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation will present, and Jon Copans of the Vermont Council on Rural Development will facilitate.
A fourth forum, possibly to be held outdoors on the property, is planned to wrap up the public education and input process.
