American Farmland Trust Grant awarded

In February the Woodbridge Conservation Commission applied for, on behalf of the Massaro Farm, and was awarded 25 hours of technical assistance from the American Farmland Trust. The technical assistance comes in the form of professional consulting in areas detailed in the publication, Planning for Agriculture: A Guide for Connecticut Municipalities. Possible uses could be: evaluating the farm land, increasing public outreach and awareness, or forming a local Agricultural Commission. Our Board will be discussing these ideas, and others, for the best use of this consultation.
