Commission monitors beaver activity and nearby dredging as part of routine Park maintenance
Summary
The commission reported beaver activity in Pulk Hole Brook (three small dams, no blockage shown by drone), monitored neighbor dredging activity in McLane wetland, and pursued follow-up on wood‑chip dropoff and park furnishings.
Commission members reported renewed beaver activity in the Pulk Hole Brook wetlands and noted three small dams; drone imagery showed no blockage of the fence or the beaver deceiver, and AR and JB will continue monitoring. The minutes also record that landowners on the east side of the McLane drainage ditch conducted cleanup and dredging; JB said he does not believe that work will affect Park wetlands or Hubbard Brook but will continue to monitor.
DR has contacted chippers to arrange wood‑chip dropoffs behind the Constitution House and the Meadow Loop but no delivery had occurred by the meeting date. JB will contact town officials about sourcing a picnic table for the lean‑to and replacing a stone bench near the lakeshore dry hydrants. Long View has not yet begun introduced‑species mitigation operations, the minutes note.
