Why is there a party at the Gomo Town Forest? The state is celebrating 100 years of Town Forests. Formerly a working farm, Johnson secured the property for $1 in 1948 and designated the land as the Gomo Town Forest 44 years ago in April 1971. Since the Johnson Conservation Commission was established at town meeting in March 2005, members have been conducting a number of projects at the 140 +/- acre Gomo parcel. A natural resources management plan (2006), and a fish & wildlife habitat plan (2009) have been prepared to guide on-site management work, and cultural artifacts and multi-purpose trails (2013) have been mapped. With sunny weather predicted, Sunday will a great day for a celebration. It is a bit wet in the woods; we recommend wearing boots. We hope you will join us.
