If you have thoughts or concerns about the Visual/Aesthetic aspect of the Monkton Town Forest and how art/sculpture, interpretive trails and signage should be considered, please join us this Saturday Nov 16th from 1pm - 3pm. The community discussion will be held at the Monkton Town Hall, light refreshments will be shared.
The Monkton Town Forest Committee is hosting these special topic meetings to discuss a range of activities and uses and how they should be factored into the long-term management plan for the Monkton Town Forest within the context of the Vermont Land Trust easement. We suggest attending in person, but Zoom is also possible. (It can be a challenge to coordinate hybrid in-person/remote group meetings, but we will do our best.)
