Fryeburg Conservation Committee outlines uses for $5,000 budget and Town Forest tasks
Summary
The committee reported $5,000 to spend by June 15 and discussed buying benches and tables, options for sanitation at the Town Forest, tree plantings, and scheduled maintenance work with FA students.
The Fryeburg Conservation Committee reviewed spending options for its 2026 budget and outlined maintenance tasks for the Town Forest at the May 4 meeting.
The committee reported it has $5,000 available to spend by June 15, 2026. Members discussed several possible uses: hiring a surveyor (primarily tied to parcel-boundary work), purchasing six benches and wooden tables for the Town Forest pavilion from approved vendors, buying trees to replace ash losses and provide shade, and either purchasing a compost toilet for the Town Forest or renting and maintaining a porta-potty.
On operations, Mona, a committee member, agreed to organize FA students to spread gravel; the committee also planned to move black boxes to better locations and carry out trail maintenance. Committee members noted that Valley Clean-Up Day on May 2 had a good turnout despite poor weather and that the community contributed substantial trash removal around town.
The committee set its next meeting for 5 p.m. on June 1 at the American Legion Building to finalize plans and any budget allocations.
