An article on Poland’s April 2 annual town meeting is to authorize the town to sell a 10-acre woodlot, with the proceeds going to the Poland Conservation Commission Account. The commission maintains three conservation projects, which provide scenic hiking trails, wildlife habitat and open space to all residents. Our limited budget costs the town very little due to volunteer labor and citizen donations. Without a reserved fund it is difficult or impossible to purchase other lands for conservation when they become available. The sale of this property will provide a fund for conservation as well as creating a taxable property for the future. ~ Fred Huntress Jr., Poland Spring
