Volunteers Wanted - Lower Farmington River and Salmon Brook Wild and Scenic Management Committee

The Town is seeking up to three volunteers to serve on the Lower Farmington River and Salmon Brook Wild and Scenic Management Committee (LFSWS).  This Committee will be responsible for helping to protect the free-flowing nature of the two watercourses, including: addressing river-related issues affecting stream flow; supporting river enhancement projects; and assisting with updates to the management plan.  A detailed list of roles and responsibilities is attached below.

The Committee will include a representative and an alternate from each of the towns along the two watercourses – Avon, Bloomfield, Burlington, East Granby, Farmington, Granby, Hartland, Simsbury and Windsor – as well as representatives from the National Park Service, the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, Stanley Black and Decker, the Salmon Brook Watershed Association, the Pequabuck River Watershed Association, and the Farmington River Watershed Association.  Representatives and alternates will normally serve three-year terms.  The Committee will meet monthly.
