To: BuffaloPark neighbors
From: Tilton Conservation Commission
As you are probably aware, the acquisition of BuffaloPark for the Town of Tilton has recently been accomplished through negotiations between Konover Development, NH Department of Environmental Services and the Tilton Conservation Commission and serves as a Conservation Easement for wetlands disturbed on the Lowes Project. We are very excited about this as it permanently protects BuffaloPark from any future development and provides recreational use for residents.
The Conservation Commission has work to do. Public parking for a few cars will be created, signage will be installed and work on trails will be ongoing. We know that you as immediate neighbors are concerned about future usage and the protection of the area. We want to encourage passive recreational use while avoiding the negative impact of trash, erosion, and general misuse of this precious resource.
We are asking for your help both in making suggestions as well as helping monitor the use of the area. Included with this letter is a list of restrictions and permitted uses from the Conservation Easement as agreed upon by the Town of Tilton and New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services. If you see activities that are not in compliance with the Easement, we hope that you will contact the TiltonTown offices or the Tilton Police Department so that we can take measures to stop them.
We thank you for your help and hope that you take time to enjoy the trails in the Park.
Thank you,
