The Town of Monroe Conservation Commission is looking to recruit a new member to the team.
The commission is currently comprised of six volunteers (seven permitted) who have a concern for environmental protection, land use, trees and wetland preservation, and related advisory involvement in development projects within the community.
Some expertise or related knowledge of these issues is desirable, but not essential.
The primary need is for volunteers to have a keen interest in local preservation issues and occasional time to attend meetings and get involved with site visits and related projects.
Team meetings are held on the third Thursday evening of each month at the Monroe Town Hall.
The Monroe Conservation Commission has been in existence since 1990. It acts in an advisory capacity on conservation matters to the Monroe Town Board, the Monroe Planning Board and the Building/Code Enforcement Officer.
The Town of Monroe has also recently become registered as a NYS Climate Smart Community (CSC), and the MCC is currently the task force for assisting with CSC climate related and energy conservation initiatives.
If you are interested in joining the commission, email a letter of interest and brief bio to Tony Cardone, Town Supervisor, at tcardone@monroeny.org.
