Longer-form draft.
At the March 4 Conservation Commission meeting, two major issues were addressed that will significantly impact Warner’s landscape and financial reserves.

First, the Commission moved forward with a plan to withdraw $80,000 from the Conservation Fund. This money is earmarked for a 62-acre easement purchase on West Joppa Road in partnership with Ausbon Sargent and KCLT. After this $65,000 purchase and $15,000 in associated legal and survey costs, the fund's balance will drop to approximately $53,000. Residents should be aware of how these large withdrawals affect the long-term availability of restricted conservation funds.

Second, the Commission discussed the ongoing controversy surrounding the proposed high-speed downhill mountain bike trail on Mount Kearsarge. The Commission is preparing for the upcoming Town Meeting regarding the petition warrant article, which seeks to urge state entities to deny the proposal due to significant environmental and public safety concerns. 

As the Town Meeting approaches, it is vital for residents to stay informed on how these land-use decisions will impact our local ecosystem and community safety. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/warner/conservation-commission/2026-03-04/ #MeetingWatch #WarnerNH
