The full story

The Wakefield Board approved issuance of an RFP supplied by the Conservation Commission to contract for forestry services to develop a forest management plan. The RFP explicitly does not include timber cutting; it covers planning and marking work. The county forester may be contacted to mark trees, and the town will not pay for services until revenue from any timber sale is received. The Board directed staff to revise dates on the RFP before issuance.
