of the Conservation Commission is to provide Hinesburg decision makers

about the human use of land in ways that protect soils, water bodies,
vegetation, and wildlife. Strategies used by the Commission include: 1. Educating residents and key decision makers as to why protection of our natural environment is important. 2. Providing timely and key information to decision makers regarding conservation issues. 3. Providing timely information to residents about good conservation practices. 4. Keeping informed about new developments in science, technology, and conservation practices. 5. Spearheading conservation efforts to protect key resources. 6. Conducting research. 7. Developing and maintaining a rural space plan. The Hinesburg Conservation Commission operates as an advisory board to the local Development Review Board, Planning Commission, and Select Board.
