Conservation commission prioritizes ADA trail erosion repair, approves decking purchase and minutes
Summary
Milton’s Conservation Commission set project priorities with ADA trail erosion repair top of the list, approved a purchase of approximately $400 in pressure-treated decking materials through Poulin Lumber, reviewed Green Up Day results, and noted Milton Pond currently presents minimal danger.
The Milton Conservation Commission on May 26 established project priorities that place ADA trail erosion repair and drainage improvements first and approved a purchase of pressure-treated decking materials for upcoming park work.
Steve Mitchell presented an updated project list and William Pikul led the prioritization: (1) ADA Trail erosion repair and drainage improvements (Lead: William Pikul); (2) Lamoille Riverwalk bridge-area improvements with possible rerouting (Lead: Bonnie Pease, supported by Brian and Tim Cunningham); (3) Hoyt Lookout signage at Eagle Mountain (Lead: Steve Mitchell); (4) Relocation of Eagle Mountain signage (Lead: Bonnie Whitlock). The commission discussed sourcing approximately one truckload of crushed small stone to address erosion on switchbacks; similar material was used successfully in prior maintenance efforts.
On procurement, William Pikul reviewed finances and noted five benches were built from surplus materials for installation in conservation areas. The commission approved a motion, moved by Steve Mitchell and seconded by Bonnie Pease, to purchase pressure-treated decking materials through Poulin Lumber to support upcoming projects; the minutes record the purchase discussion and a unanimous vote to approve.
Members also reviewed Green Up Day final collection totals and discussed unusual items recovered during cleanup; volunteers mulched around fruit trees during efforts. Bonnie Pease summarized reports on Milton Pond conditions and said there appears to be minimal danger at this time.
The commission approved its April 28 meeting minutes earlier in the session and adjourned at 9:02 p.m.
