Chase Brook management plan revised, maintenance measures recommended
Summary
The Chase Brook management plan was heavily revamped with streamlined forest‑management recommendations; commissioners recommended continuing $200 powder‑post treatments twice yearly, seeding pollinator beds, protecting a serviceberry tree, moving picnic tables, and drafting leave‑no‑trace rules for camps.
Commissioners reported that the Chase Brook management plan has been substantially revised to streamline text and consolidate forest‑management recommendations, with Ky working alongside Brian, Amy and Peter on the revisions. The stated goal was to reduce repetition and present clearer forest‑management guidance in the plan.
Operational maintenance recommendations for Chase Brook include continuing $200 powder‑post wood treatments twice a year, seeding pollinator beds with a cover crop, protecting a serviceberry tree, relocating picnic tables into the barn, drafting rules to align camps (e.g., rock painting) with leave‑no‑trace principles, and continuing knotweed monitoring. A letter has been sent to Josh Livingston requesting driveway repairs; no formal policy action was taken at this meeting.
