Eastford has its
own open space fund, and there are also state
and federal grant funds available for protecting
open space. If you love your land and would like
to see some or all of it protected from development
for future generations, we would like to hear
from you.
Good jobs, a strong
economy and a stable mill rate are critical to
Eastford's future. So are a clean environment
and our small town, rural character. If we all
pitch in - working and planning together - we
can ensure that generations to come will also
enjoy these assets.
The Commission consists of nine
members and in the web pages on Conservation &
Historic Preservation, you can review our mission
statement. In addition you can review or download
Natural Resource
Maps including Agricultural Soils, Ground
and Surface Water Resources and several others.
Additionally, links to local and state organizations
supporting open space and other conservation initiatives
can be found.
Want
to Help?
The CHPC maintains a comprehensive natural
and historic resource inventory of Eastford, including
important wildlife habitats and corridors, surface
& groundwater resources, historic and archeological
resources (see Maps & Resources page) and more.
We seek to continually update and improve this information.
If YOU know of a special place in Eastford that
should not be overlooked as our town grows, we would
like to hear from you.
For
more information about the Commission,
please contact your Selectman or attend
one of our meetings, which are usually held
at the Eastford Town Office Building, the first
Tuesday of each month, at 7 p.m. You can also
write to us at ECHPC, Town Office Building, 16
Westford Road, Eastford, CT 06242. Your ideas,
concerns and questions are welcome. |
