Chichester Conservation Commission

 

The Chichester Conservation Commission has received information from Forester Charles Moreno on recommendations for the two Town Forests and Carpenter Park. Last week the Spaulding lot was mentioned. This week we will be describing the Madeline Sanborn Town Forest.

 

This land is located directly behind the Town Offices. There is a kiosk at the edge of the parking lot and a trail into the woods. This trail leads to a wonderful pine knoll where one can sit on the benches and look out over the rippling water of Marsh Pond. The area comprises 3 parcels of land. Two parcels totaling 30 acres were donated by Madeline Sanborn in 1991. In between them a parcel of 7.9 acres was purchased from Joan and William R Cray by the NH Department of Transportation as part of a wetlands mitigation requirement.

 

The land is to be managed for wildlife habitat, sustainable timber harvesting and passive recreation. There are stands of white pine, hemlock and hardwoods, especially in the eastern parcel. This area is landlocked so the permission of adjacent property owners would be needed to harvest the timber. There is currently a snowmobile trail that crosses it. The western parcel, where the kiosk and trails are, has no feasible access at this time and the recommendation is to let the area develop naturally. There is a no hunting and no trapping restriction on these lands. Please come to our public meeting October 13 at 7 pm at the Grange Hall to learn more details from the Forester.

 

The Town of Chichester currently has about 350 acres of open lands protected through conservation easements or deed covenants. An easement is a means by which a landowner donates or sells rights to develop the property for residential or commercial purposes. At the same time, the easement allows the landowner to continue forestry, agricultural, and recreational activities on the land. The net result is that the land remains open in perpetuity, maintaining open space and helping to preserve the rural character of the town for the long term.

 

The Conservation Commission will host a program on open space protection on November 10 at 7 pm at the Grange Hall. Representatives of the Five Rivers Conservation Trust (5RCT) will be available to answer questions on a range of topics related to conservation easements, grant support of local efforts, and federal tax implications for the landowner. Additional information on easements can be obtained at the SPNHF web site at http://clca.forestsociety.org/how-to-conserve-land/.
