ROCKINGHAM — Interim Municipal Manager Francis “Dutch” Walsh has told the Selectboard that the Conservation Committee has been “doing a good job.”
The committee, formed in 2009, will become a formal Conservation Commission pursuant to state law if voters approve the measure at Town Meeting.
In its current form, the committee has analyzed which street lights need to be maintained and which of the 423 streetlights in Rockingham can be eliminated to cut costs.
“They are saving a lot of time for the board,” Selectboard Chair Thom MacPhee noted.
The committee is also considering natural areas designation within the town, as well as future trails.
