The public is invited to join members of the Wolcott Community Forest Committee for a walk of the proposed forest property on Saturday, October 22nd at 9 am.  We will meet at the Wolcott ballfield on School St. to begin the walk.

Additionally, the Forest Committee invites community members to attend an Informational Meeting & Discussion on Monday, October 24th, 6:30 pm at Wolcott Elementary School to learn about the proposed 700-acre community forest and discuss how it could be used.  Mariah Keagy, Trail Planner & Designer, Sinuosity will discuss the opportunity to develop a sustainable, multi-use trail system accessible to a broad range of users.

"The town forest has the potential to strongly influence the character of our town as the next years and decades unfold.    We could focus on recreation and events in the woods, and have it evolve into a destination that draws people here year-round, lending support to existing and potential new businesses and other activities in the town - or, we could keep things more low- key.    Different types of activities will draw different groups of people to our town - and now is a good time to think about all the possibilities," explained Gordon Young, Chair, Wolcott Community Forest Committee.   The Forest Committee is conducting a survey to collect input from Wolcott residents and its neighbors from surrounding communities.  Printed copies of the survey are available at the Town Office, the Wolcott Library, the Wolcott Store and Wolcott Elementary School.   All completed surveys can be dropped off at the Town Office.  If you would like a printed copy of the survey, please contact Kurt Billings, 888-7145.   
The survey can also be completed online:    https://tinyurl.com/WolcottWoodsSurvey2209 
Please complete and submit the survey by October 15th.
