The Hogback Preservation Commission is the governing entity for Hogback Mountain under the auspices of the Marlboro Select Board. This Commission sets and revises policy under the purview of the Conservation Easement Agreement held by the Vermont Land Trust. The Commission will also monitor, revise and update the Management Plan, ensure conformity to the Conservation Easement Agreement, provide an annual budget for Select Board review and provide recommendations for the management of the Hogback Mountain Endowment Fund.

The board is comprised of seven members. Two members are ex-officio representatives from the Marlboro Planning and Conservation Commissions. There are five at-large members, two of whom may be from towns OTHER than Marlboro.

This commission provides management oversight of all matters concerning Hogback Mountain and provides advice and recommendations to the Select Board in this regard, as needed.

The Commission provides a general oversight of the private, non-profit Hogback Mountain Conservation Association (HMCA) whose volunteer members will endeavor to support the Commission. HMCA, as a separate organization, is the group expected to provide actual on-the-ground support at Hogback in the way of trail management, events and activity responsibilities and other such activities as needed.
