Quick context to catch up fast.
Limited trail construction at Yankee Highlands was allowed to begin in one corner of the property while the town seeks a one-year environmental review and develops a land-use agreement with NEMBA. Commissioners noted that a proposed 20 miles of trails on 300 acres could create a large corridor of influence in the forest; Town Council consideration of the memorandum and land-use agreement is expected in February.

Residents may see limited trail work begin at Yankee Highlands, but broader construction remains under review. The Environment Commission wants a separate land-use agreement to clarify what the town can expect from NEMBA, including how the trails will be designed and managed. The commission also elected Karen Schnitzer as chair and Laura Monte as vice chair, both unanimously.
