Roadside Ecologies Map

This project began with an email from a local resident to members of our commission. A sensitive ecological niche along a roadside had inadvertently been damaged in the process of some necessary roadwork. Few of us can immediately differentiate a critical habitat from a simple puddle, so after we elevated the issue to the Select Board and our highway superintendent both eagerly requested, we provide a quick-reference map highlighting areas where the road crews should pay additional attention to how they carry out their duties.
