The Lincoln Conservation Commission seeks volunteers to serve on this 7-member board. Commissioner appointments are made by the Board of Selectmen and the terms are for three years unless the appointment is to fill out a previous Commissioner’s term. The time commitment includes an evening meeting every third Wednesday as well as site visits, which are often held on the same day as the meeting and are typically held on weekday mornings. You will also be asked to participate in a Subcommittee or serve as a liaison to another Board or organization. The Commission’s work is diverse but much of it is focused on wetlands permitting and open space management. Those with professional skills in reading and understanding construction plans are especially desirable so a background in fields such as engineering, construction, architecture, and surveying is helpful. Also those with legal experience or a strong environmental background (such as biology or botany) would help round out the current group of Commissioners. If you are interested, please submit the Volunteer Application form that is available at www.lincolntown.org to the Board of Selectmen’s office. Attendance at our meetings prior to appointment is strongly recommended for any interested applicant, our meeting schedule is also available on the website.
