Protecting Webster’s Green Future

Alex’s Involvement

After retiring, one of the first ways I gave back to Webster was by supporting the work of the Open Space Committee.

Preserving our natural beauty isn’t just a cause — it’s a responsibility to our families, our property values, and our way of life.

I proudly stand with the Open Space Committee because they believe what I believe: Development should happen the right way —

not at the cost of our green spaces.
 

 

Why It Matters

• Over 50% of Webster’s green space has been lost since 1974.
   

• Webster’s semi-rural character — its forests, wetlands, and wildlife habitats — is disappearing.
   

• Once it's gone, we can’t get it back.
   

The Open Space Committee is not anti-development.

They are pro-responsible development — fighting for smart, sustainable growth that protects what makes Webster home.
 

 

How the Open Space Committee Helps
 

• Strengthens zoning codes to protect trees, wetlands, and wildlife.
   

• Advocates for smarter land use and responsible development practices.
   

• Defends greenspace from unnecessary clearcutting and overbuilding.
   

• Raises community awareness through education and outreach.
   

• Works to hold the Town accountable to its own Comprehensive Plan.
