Thank you Tunbridge residents and visitors for your patience with the recent changes to the process of obtaining a burn permit. The Selectboard, the Fire Chief, and the former Forest Fire Wardens are all working with the State of Vermont and Vermont League of Cities and Towns to ensure that Tunbridge has a sustainable process in place. We hope to have an updated process by the conclusion of the next Selectboard meeting on July 28 and will post updated information on the Town website, in Front Porch Forum, on the Tunbridge Listserv, and on the board in the Town Clerk’s office.
