Volunteer memo highlights Paradise Park dam inspections, wetland mapping and rare-plant surveys
Summary
The July 24, 2024 memo documents dam safety inspections for the Main and North Dikes, wetland mapping and natural-community determinations, a compiled flora for Paradise Park, and coordination with ANR and VNHI on rare and endangered plants.
Jim Bennett’s memo to the Windsor Conservation Commission lists several Paradise Park–specific initiatives, including "Dam Safety Inspection of the Main and North Dikes," wetland mapping, and compilation of a park flora. Bennett says he assisted ANR botanists and coordinated with the Vermont Natural History Inventory on identifying rare and endangered plants within the park.
The memo also records point-intercept aquatic-plant surveys performed with ANR limnologists and monitoring for rare aquatic species in Lake Runnemede. Bennett frames these activities as foundational data for the town’s 2022 Paradise Park Management Plan and as information the WCC could inherit to support park stewardship and maintenance.
