Lincoln conversation officials are asking residents—including children—to complete an online survey to help them update the Open Space and Recreation Plan, or OSRP (see the Lincoln Squirrel, July 20, 2016).
The OSRP includes an environmental and open-space inventory and outlines how the Conservation Commission and Lincoln Land Conservation Trust work together to manage Lincoln’s 2,000+ acres of conservation land, as well as the community’s vision and statement of needs. The survey will help to identify priorities, goals, strategies and actions to be implemented over the next seven years. It asks residents what conservation, recreation and agricultural facilities they now use in Lincoln, what they would like to see improved, and any new initiatives they favor, such as a dedicated dog park, lighted outdoor athletic field, etc.
There will be a public forum to discuss the topics presented in the survey on Wednesday, Sept. 14 from 7:30-9 p.m. in the Hartwell multipurpose room. A second community forum is slated for November 16 at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Office Building.
Click here to take the survey. Anyone who has questions or would prefer to fill out a paper copy is invited to call or visit the Conservation Department (781-259-2612).
