CARLISLE — Conservation Commission continues Land Stewardship Committee charter review. Chair George Shepard's panel held a three-hour public hearing on March 19 incorporating feedback from the Environmental Sustainability Committee, Agricultural Commission, Trails Committee, Carlisle Conservation Foundation, and current LSC members, with major revisions adding ecosystem-protection language, clarifying LSC's committee status, and requiring close collaboration on agricultural matters. The Commission voted unanimously to continue the hearing to March 26 and directed Conservation Administrator Megan Sullivan to prepare a revised draft reflecting all changes discussed.
The refined charter clarifies membership categories, streamlines budget procedures, and specifies that Conservation Commission members serve only as non-voting liaisons to LSC.
