Volunteers set for knotweed work and community tree plantings Oct. 25 and Nov. 1
Summary
The commission organized invasive‑species work and volunteer tree plantings, including an Oct. 25 Waitsfield event (9–11:30 a.m.) and a Nov. 1 Fayston planting (10 a.m.–12 p.m.) at Mill Brook Road/Rt. 17 and additional sites; sign‑ups are through the Bee app.
Commissioners confirmed volunteer events to address knotweed and invasive species: some FCC members will join the Waitsfield community tree planting on Oct. 25, 9–11:30 a.m., and the commission is organizing a planting on Nov. 1 from 10 a.m. to noon at Mill Brook Road/Rt. 17 (across from Mad River Lodge), Chase Brook at Barton Road, and along German Flats. Organizers plan to use tree tubes and stakes and will collect volunteers via the Bee app.
The work is presented as an operational conservation activity rather than a regulatory action; commissioners also noted ongoing knotweed monitoring and coordination with other local FCCs for contiguous efforts.
