Open Space, Natural Resources, and Trails Committee Meeting

The committee reviewed a Commonwealth designation of part of the south hill at Woodsom Farm as a Priority Habitat for eastern meadowlarks, which may restrict mowing until after the May 15–Aug 15 breeding window and affect July 4 fireworks plans. Members also discussed the Town Forest/Woodsom Farm management report and noted contracts are being finalized for a trail assessment (Woodsman Inc./Matthew Simth) and a land‑management report for Battis Farm and Powow Hill Conservation Area.
