Marbletown Community Preservation Fund Advisory Board: Call for Volunteers

Marbletown is looking for volunteers to serve on the Community Preservation Fund Advisory Board. The seven member Board is charged with researching and reviewing properties to be considered for conservation or preservation with support from the Community Preservation Fund. The Board will bring its recommendations to the Town Board who will have final say in the selection of properties and expenditure of the fund. Duties will include gathering public opinion regarding the use of the fund.

Preservation and conservation can take many forms, here are some examples:

• Easements on farms to ensure continued agricultural use (buying development rights)

• Acquisition of property for Town Recreational use

• Extension and connection of rails trails and walking trails, right-of-ways

• Protection of an aquifer to allow it to re-charge

• Preservation of Historic sites

• Protection of Wildlife Areas

If you have a willingness to serve your community and the energy to commit, please contact us. Meetings will be on the second Tuesday of each month at 5PM.

A background in environmental protection or agriculture is a plus but not required.
