Plympton Open Space Committee approves Feb. minutes; plans trail cleanup and beaver maintenance
Summary
At the April 9 meeting the Plympton Open Space Committee unanimously approved Feb. 12 open- and executive-session minutes, noted volunteer interest for trail cleanups, discussed damage and misuse at Cato’s and Two Brooks preserves, and recorded upcoming beaver maintenance by Beaver Solutions.
Chair Gavin Murphy called the Plympton Open Space Committee to order at 7:00 p.m. on April 9. The committee unanimously approved the Feb. 12, 2026 open-session and executive-session minutes by roll call votes.
Committee member Alan Wheelock moved to approve the open-session minutes; Chair Gavin Murphy seconded, and the roll call recorded all aye votes (Gavin Murphy; Vicki Alberti; Jessica Kinsman; Jacqueline Rafferty; Alan Wheelock). Chair Gavin Murphy then moved to approve the executive-session minutes and Vicki Alberti seconded; that motion also passed unanimously by roll call.
The minutes record that Jaroslaw Kasperkiewicz emailed on March 17 expressing interest in helping with town trail cleanups; Committee member Vicki Alberti followed up and will convene the trail crew. The committee discussed conditions at preserves: Cato’s has numerous downed trees and will require a crew cleanup, Two Brooks needs spring mowing (Vicki Alberti will check with Rob Firlotte), and the bird blind at Two Brooks has been subject to misuse, with trash and windows left open.
Conservation Agent Brian Vasa noted that Beaver Solutions is scheduled to perform beaver maintenance within the next couple of weeks; the minutes indicate timing and operational coordination will be handled by staff.
Chair Gavin Murphy moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:49 p.m.; Vicki Alberti seconded and the committee voted unanimously. The next meeting is scheduled for June 11 at the Town House and via Zoom. The minutes were recorded and submitted by Conservation Agent Brian Vasa.
