Guilford Conservation Commission Retreat

Thursday Nov. 20. 5:30 – 8:00 pm. Broad Brook Community Center

Instead of a regular monthly meeting, the members of the Guilford Conservation Commission are having a mini-retreat to solidify our understanding of the purpose and operations of Conservation Commissions.  We will not conduct a regular business meeting.  Instead, we will meet over a potluck dinner at the Broad Brook Community Center.

Key Questions

  • Why does Guilford have a Conservation Commission?
  • Why are we each here?
  • How can we support the GCC Mission and each other’s contributions?
