We are the Town of Vassalboro's Conservation Commission, established in 2008. Our mission is dictated by a Town Conservation Commission Ordinance: 1.  To protect and manage the quality of the Town's water resources including rivers, streams, ponds and aquifers. 2. To protect the Town's critical natural resources including wetlands, wildlife and fishery habitats, shoreland, scenic vistas, and unique natural areas. 3. To safeguard the town's agricultural and forest resources from development that threatens those resources.This project involves improving access and environmental resilience for Monument Park, a vital community waterfront asset. Buffer zones will be created and maintained to protect water quality in support of local watershed-based management, while outreach and educational efforts will expand the use and appreciation of this resource.
