Land Stewardship Committee charter hearing set; commission allocates remaining FY26 funds for mowing and beaver management
Summary
The commission scheduled a public hearing March 19 for a revised Land Stewardship Committee charter and authorized staff to solicit mowing contractors for priority fields after reviewing approximately $24,000 remaining in the LSC’s FY26 budget for mowing, invasive control, and beaver-management work.
The Carlisle Conservation Commission directed further stakeholder review of the Land Stewardship Committee Charter draft and identified priority uses for roughly $24,000 remaining in the committee’s FY26 appropriation.
Commissioners received stakeholder feedback on LSC Charter Draft #2 and set a remote public hearing for March 19, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.; commissioners were asked to submit any final comments 48 hours before the hearing.
Administrator Megan Sullivan presented a budget update showing approximately $24,000 remaining of the $44,000 appropriation. Priority expenses include field mowing for Benfield, Towle, and Foss (estimated at about $4,000), invasive-species treatment and management, and beaver-management work including annual maintenance at Greenough and potential new installations at Otter Slide Trail (estimated $3,760).
Dan Wells moved and Navneet Hundal seconded a motion authorizing Administrator Megan Sullivan to inquire with mowing contractors for the identified fields; the motion passed by unanimous roll call.
