The Plainville Conservation Commission meets the 2nd Wednesday of each month to discuss local conservation issues. Commission members and friends conduct cleanups of both the Quinnipiac and Pequaubuck rivers each year as well as distribute wildflower and milkweed seeds for pollinators. A Trails Day hike is conducted in town each year as well. The Commission is always looking for help with these endeavors as well as looking for new ideas on how it can help conserve vital resources.
