In the spring of 2009, the Durham Conservation Commission,
with the endorsement of the Town Council, submitted
a grant application to the Piscataqua Region Estuaries
Partnership, Community Technical Assistance Program,
for the development of a stewardship plan to better
track, manage, and protect the ecological values of
Town-owned conservation lands. Subsequently, the DCC
hired a Technical Assistance Provider, Ellen Snyder,
of Ibis Wildlife Consulting to develop Stewardship Plans
on four Durham properties: Wagon Hill Farm, Doe Farm,
Longmarsh Preserve, and the Weeks Lot. Ms. Snyder completed
the plans and delivered them to the Town the beginning
of November 2009.
At the January 11th Council meeting, Conservation Commission
member Beryl Harper provided Councilors with a brief
update on the finalized Stewardship Plans prepared by
Ms. Snyder.
