Natural Resources Committee

The Natural Resources Committee was created in 1999 to define the general philosophy of the management of the specific properties of the Trust and to provide a source of horticultural information to aid land stewards in the management of Trust properties.

The policy statement of the Natural Resources Committee is:

The general property management policy of the Branford Land Trust is to leave land in its natural state, allowing natural processes to take place undisturbed. However, intervention may be allowed to encourage natural diversity, to prevent degradation of natural systems or to allow for appropriate human use. Any plantings, if appropriate, will be native species suited to the site. Interventions must be recommended by the Natural Resources committee and must be approved by the Board.
