2021 Open Space Survey Now Live!
The Wendell Open Space Committee is excited to share that we have officially launched the 2021 Open Space Survey! Once each decade, we survey the town to learn about what your priorities are for preserving and enhancing the open space lands that make up so much of our town.
Your answers will form the basis for an Open Space and Recreation Plan for Wendell and help the Town as it continues to develop land-use policies and priorities for town government’s use in planning for future growth and protecting our natural, scenic and historic resources—all of the things that make Wendell a special place to live. The plan will help Wendell qualify for federal and state funding for land conservation, parks and outdoor recreation opportunities.
You may fill out the survey online now, or fill out and return a paper copy of the survey. Paper copies are in the mail and will be arriving in your mailboxes over the next week or so. You may also download and print out a paper copy.
Please return your completed survey (either online or by mail) by Tuesday November 30, 2021.
Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts and your reflections!
Your Open Space Committee,
Dan Leahy, Ray DiDonato, and Caro Roszell
