The Essex Conservation Committee will meet on Tuesday, March 10 at 7 p.m. in the conference room at the Town Offices, 81 Main Street. The agenda includes the following items:

1) Public comments
2) Development review (with the Trails Committee) of applications scheduled to go before the Planning Commission on March 26 (Both items are on the consent agenda, which means Community Development staff has already written a draft approval letter. If the Planning Commission decides an application is significant enough to warrant more discussion, the PC can pull the application from consent agenda.):
- 218 Colchester Road: Proposal to sell bags of compost at the CSWD Drop-Off Center.
- 39 River Road: Minor changes to the building to accommodate a brewery.
3) Expanding enrollment in current use programs in Essex.
4) Establishing a conservation fund or land trust: potential models, next steps
5) Invasive species management and public education
6) Minutes from Feb. 10
7) Other business

The Conservation Committee is looking for a new member to fill an open seat. For more information about the opening or anything on the agenda, please contact Greg Duggan at 878-1343 or email gduggan@essex.org.
