Overview
The Georgia Conservation Commission is a seven-member board of townspeople appointed by the Selectboard who volunteer their time and effort to support the core mission, which is to “preserve, protect, and enhance the native plants, animals, and their habitats in the town of Georgia, for current and future generations.”
Since 1993, commission members have donated countless hours of service to the town. As a result of these efforts, Georgia currently has four properties protected from development and open to free public use.
- Russell Greene Natural Area
- Henley-Webster Town Forest
- Lost Pond
- Silver Lake Woods
- Trail Maps
