November 3rd 2021 Public Meeting
Documents that may help guide your thinking:
What kinds of recreational activities do we want in the forest? Do we want to encourage use by non-Fairlee visitors: why or why not? Do we think there should be more information and infrastructure to accommodate forest visitors, e.g. signs, kiosks, maps, trail markings? Should the forest be logged and if yes, for what purpose (habitat, income, etc.) and what type of logging? If not, why not? What level of priority should protection of natural resources, wildlife and ecosystems have in management of the forest: highest, lowest or in-between? What are the costs, benefits, and revenue potential for various uses? - Fairlee Forest Facts
