Tom Kidder informed the committee that the Natural Resources Conservation Service has offered a $2,620 donation toward honeysuckle eradication. The minutes record that the project must be prioritized by the county and may not start until 2027. Kidder also noted that forester Spencer Como had surveyed the area but that there appeared to be discrepancies between his recommendations and the NRCS plan—especially regarding tree and shrub establishment in the upper log landing area—and that he would follow up.
Committee members flagged the timing and the need to reconcile the forester’s recommendations with the NRCS plan before implementation and budgeting; no formal action was recorded.
