At its June 23, 2026 meeting the Londonderry Conservation Commission took up three items that did not appear on the published agenda. Members reviewed a grant application to the NH Trails Bureau for approximately $28-29,000 to build a footpath on the Lithia Trail and install interpretive signs, with a 20% local match required. They also confirmed the 2019 conserved acreage total of 4,147 acres (15% of town land) and discussed the master plan target of 30%, which would require roughly 1,000 acres acquired per year. April and May treasury reports showing receipt of a $100,000 allocation were presented and accepted. All recorded votes were unanimous and no public comments were received. Because these topics were not noticed in advance, residents could not prepare comments or track the specific financial and land-acquisition implications.
