The commission reported six invasive‑species technician interns have accepted offers and that a project coordinator intern will manage the program during the season. Dave Moroney will serve as a consultant to the invasive‑species work, which includes knotweed control and related activities.
Members said the Lake Champlain Basin Program (LCBP) contract was amended to reallocate funds originally intended for gravel decontamination toward goats grazing as a control strategy. Commissioners discussed aligning volunteer schedules with intern availability to increase participation during the summer months.
