Conservation commission schedules volunteer tree‑cutting day for Aug. 7
Summary
Summer interns reported fallen trees on multiple trails; commissioners set a volunteer tree‑cutting session for Friday, Aug. 7 at 10:00 a.m. (unless used as the rain date for trail marking). Volunteers were asked to bring their own saws and gloves.
Commission members said summer interns found fallen trees blocking several trails, including at the end of Halls Road and in Toby Hill Woods, and agreed to organize a volunteer work day to clear debris. Commissioners set Friday, Aug. 7 at 10:00 a.m. as the target for cutting, with the caveat that the date could be used as the rain date for Horse Hill Gorge trail‑marking. Members asked volunteers to bring their own saws, gloves and safety equipment.
The tree‑cutting session is intended to restore safe passage on affected trails rather than to alter trail alignments; no formal budget or contractor hire was approved at the July 21 meeting. The commission did not take a formal vote on staffing or purchases related to the work day.
