CONWAY — Town Manager Tom Holmes told Conway selectmen Tuesday that he's received an enormous amount of feedback from a proposal to adopt a leash law at town-owned Whitaker Woods. Meanwhile, Carroll County commissioners are working on a dog policy of their own.

According to Sun cross-country skiing columnist Sally McMurdo, "Whitaker Woods is a 180-acre multi-use non-motorized recreational area owned by the Town of Conway. Contained within its boundaries are about 45K of trails, ranging from wide woods trails to single track. The wooded area is managed by the Conway Conservation Commission and the 6-acre open fields are managed by the Conway Recreation Department."
