Conservation Commission

​The Plainfield Conservation Commission meets on the third Wednesday of the month at 7:00 PM at the Town Office. The Conservation Commission's goal is to foster community involvement and responsibility for our town’s natural resources.​​​​

Join Plainfield's R.A.T.S. coalition!
Recycle All Table Scraps is part of Plainfield's response to the new mandatory composting laws. We're calling on everyone who eats food to join us to be part of the solution!
