Select Board OKs interpretive signs and pollinator-path markers for downtown community gardens
Summary
The board approved placement of small interpretive and pollinator-path trail markers on town property after a presentation by Lee Community Gardens; the group will coordinate siting and permitting with the town planner and DPW.
A representative of Lee Community Gardens (presented as Catherine) described plans for a pollinator path and a set of small interpretive trail markers across downtown Lee, with three marker types (historical, flower/pollinator, and trees) and QR codes linking to website content. The markers would be placed on town property and on building owners' permission where appropriate; the group said signs would be modest in size and located away from traffic.
"The interpretive sign that says, plants, pollinators, people, that we would like to have," the presenter said, describing proposed siting near an existing bench by the church and plantings beside the Franklin Street parking lot. Board members and staff asked the group to work with the town planner and DPW on final siting and permitting; Select Board members moved to allow the placement on town property and the motion passed unanimously.
The group will proceed with designs, coordinate dig-safe checks and final placement and return if the markers require a permanent sign permit through the planning board or if a different permitting pathway is needed.
