Conservation Commission
Mission
The Conservation Commission of Woodstock, Connecticut was created by town ordinance "...for the purpose of the development, conservation, supervision, and regulation of natural resources, including water resources, within the town of Woodstock. The Conservation Commission is charged with maintaining an inventory of natural resources (forests , farmlands, wetlands, and other open spaces in town); monitoring conservation easements held by the town; formulating watershed and drought management plans; making recommendations to other municipal agencies on proposed land use and other plans for the prioritization, conservation and protection of open space, greenways and other natural resources; and supervising, as well as managing, municipally-owned open space such as forest land.
The Conservation Commission seeks to cooperate with other town organizations, residents and interested parties on town planning and our efforts to maintain and enhance the character of Woodstock.

Water Quality Program Volunteers Needed |
 How Clean is the Water in The Last Green Valley? You can help us find out. The Quinebaug-Shetucket Heritage Corridor Water Quality Monitoring Program is offering free training and use of equipment to "citizen scientists" who are willing to collect data to help us learn more about the current condition of their local streams. The "RBV" method uses pollution sensitive insects as indicators of water quality. |

Q. I want to get involved in conservation in Woodstock, but don't want to join the Commission just yet. Is there another option? Answer Yes! You can attend our regular meetings (see Calendar) and provide input or just come to learn. You can also work on a special project (like inventorying vernal pools) or subcommittee.

Q. Does the Conservation Commission regulate development? Answer The Conservation Commission is not a regulatory agency. We are advisory in nature, and as such submit recommendations to other Town organizations like the Planning & Zoning Commission and Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Agency for their considerations.
