We aim to create a community that acts to preserve our ecosystem as a whole. We raise awareness, educate and motivate residents, town government and businesses to reduce waste of all forms and create a healthy future for all.

Milton Town Wharf, Thursdays 1 - 6 pm
Don't forget to visit the Milton Farmer's Market each week for fresh, local food at it's best! Visit them on Facebook to find out who and what will be on hand each week.
Sept 12 and Oct 10 - Sustainable Milton will be there to inform you about upcoming events and answer your questions about home energy audits, sustainable landscaping, electric vehicles/lawn care equipment, and more!
Reusable produce bags and large tote bags will be available at the SM table. Both can be machine-washed and air-dried as needed (produce bags may fare better in the machine within a pillowcase or a delicate wash bag). High quality, sustainably-sourced (scrap fabric and recycled bottles) and locally manufactured (made in NH) tote bags are dressed up with nice graphics and sustainable lifestyle reminders. They are perfect for carrying fresh corn, melons and the rest of your farm stand purchases (and make great hostess gifts as well)!!
Don't forget: If you ride your bike there (with a helmet!) you will receive a $2 coupon which may be redeemed at any of the market vendors. Thank you Bike Milton for encouraging safe, green transportation to our Farmer's Market! RIP Marjorie.

The Master Plan Implementation Committee embarked upon an effort to study and develop mixed-use overlay zoning in the Milton Village Business District in 2017 to address pressing local housing needs and to put tools in place to encourage economic development for a more vibrant district. The Committee will present its analyses and recommendations to town officials, residents, business owners, stakeholders and users and provide an opportunity for input.
