The Conservation Commission meets the first Tuesday of every month at 6:00 pm.
Please visit Agendas and Minutes for information on past and current meetings, and visit Policies and Procedures for the Commission’s policies. For maps of resources, visit MHCC Map Inventory.
Hiking Trails Private owners of the old Syria Farm on Shunpike have marked trails with assistance from the Conservation Commission. You are welcome to explore the trails looping around beaver ponds, through overgrown orchards and stately stands of hemlocks, providing hikes of 1 to 2 miles. Please be respectful of their land and follow the posted rules. Directions, a map of the trails and guidelines for their use are posted here here.
