Fayston Conservation Committee seeks funding for Boyce Hill Town Forest maintenance and equipment
Summary
The Fayston Conservation Committee requested $9,250 for Boyce Hill Town Forest maintenance and equipment in 2026 (vegetation management, a DR mower, fuel and kiosk/signage). The committee also asked the Selectboard to consider reserve funding for combined town forest needs totaling $16,550.
The Fayston Conservation Committee presented a maintenance and equipment request for Boyce Hill Town Forest (subaccount 0301), listing $4,000 for maintaining open areas/vegetation management, $4,000 toward a DR mower, $250 for equipment maintenance and fuel, and $1,000 for kiosk and signage, for a Boyce Hill subtotal of $9,250.
Taken together with Chase Brook proposals, the FCC's materials list total town forest expenses of $16,550 to be drawn down from the Town Forest Reserve Fund. The packet also includes reserve-balance figures that are unclear in the printed materials; the committee and Selectboard will reconcile exact reserve availability before any reserve drawdown. Andrea Henderson noted a $300 donation shown in materials should not be counted on as reliable revenue.
