Conservation Commission

The Richmond Conservation Commission is a seven-member volunteer group appointed by the Town Council to address environmental conservation issues in the Town of Richmond. The Commission is responsible for and promotes conservation of Richmond’s natural resources, helps to protect our valuable watershed resources, supports conservation and preservation of our Town’s natural areas, and strives to promote environmental stewardship and public understanding of sustainable, environmentally-sound land use practices in Richmond.

The Richmond Conservation Commission (RCC) holds monthly meetings to discuss various environmental conservation issues relating to Richmond. The meetings may involve the review of design or master plans for proposed land developments in Richmond, which allow comments to be submitted to the Richmond town planner, the Planning Board, and/or the State Department of Environmental Management. These efforts help to address critical issues potentially affecting important land and water resources, and help determine whether or how a development should be approved for construction.
