Bower Springs Survey

The Bolton Conservation Commission, with the assistance of graduate students from the Conway School of Landscape Design, is in the process of creating a management plan for Bower Springs, located in the town of Bolton.  This management plan will create a vision for the future of Bower Springs while also serving as a guideline for other Conservation Commission managed lands.  This survey will help create a plan that reflects community interests and desires.  Please complete the survey by Monday, June 1st.  
 
If you have any questions regarding the survey or management plan, please contact Jonathan Cooper and Erki Johnson at bowerspringscsld@gmail.com or Carol Gumbart, Bolton Conservation Administrator at concom@townofbolton.com or 779-3304.
