Parks & Lands Committee's Work

CAMP SOCI MANAGEMENT PLAN (DRAFT)
A major goal of the Town’s Open Space Plan (2019) was to draft management plans for all the Town owned open spaces. Management plans serve as a useful tool to advise the Town on management and maintenance decisions within open spaces by:
• Summarizing natural resources and recreational values of a property.
• Summarizing current use, user conflicts, and existing deed or resource restrictions.
• Offering guidance for stewardship and maintenance decisions.
• Establishing guidelines for allowed and prohibited uses.
The Parks & Lands Committee (PLC) has worked on planning and drafting of the management plan and reached a final draft of the plan to present to Council in October. The sub committee, made up of residents, abutters, PLC members, and YCS staff, hosted site visits, sub committee meetings, and a public meeting at the Town Hall.
We ask that the Town Council review and endorse the work put into creating this Management Plan. We look forward to meeting and presenting the plan to the Town Council in October 2025.

A subcommittee of the PLC worked for many months to gather information, host public meetings, and, with the help of NORTHSTAR Planning, completed the town's first Open Space Plan in 2019.
