Mission Statement

Committee Mission Statement

  • To collect public input upon the places and aspects of land use that contribute to Jaffrey's quality of life
  • To evaluate possible land use policy choices that would ensure that our existing quality of life remains available to future generations.
  • To identify the ecosystem services provided by open space in Jaffrey and evaluate policy choices that would maintain these utility values. 

Committee Charge from Select Board

The Jaffrey ad hoc Open Space Committee is a volunteer citizen committee advisory to the Select Board and charged to:

  1. Evaluate the proper role, composition and/or need for a permanent Open Space Committee
  2. Prepare an Open Space Plan for the Town of Jaffrey that clearly identifies the priorities and strategies that could guide the Town and a permanent Open Space Committee going forward

Upon completion of these first two tasks, the ad hoc committee will be dissolved and the Select Board will take its findings under advisement.
