The Northfield Conservation Commission is developing a management plan for the longterm stewardship of our village and town owned lands.  The final plan will be subject to approval by the Village Trustees.

Our Strategy:

  1. Inventory existing resources
  2. Inventory existing uses
  3. Evaluate pros and cons of uses
  4. Develop recommendations
  5. Obtain public input
  6. Propose management plan

Trail use is leading to serious erosion of trails in the Northfield Municipal Forest.  Management is needed to ensure adequate trail maintenance and protect appropriate recreational uses.
