Commission plans volunteer days for buckthorn removal and other land‑management tasks
Summary
The Hollis Conservation Commission agreed to promote volunteer invasive‑plant removal (buckthorn) and other stewardship tasks in fall and to feature sign‑ups at Old Home Days; members discussed logistics, partners and timing.
Commissioners discussed scheduling volunteer workdays this fall for buckthorn removal and other invasive‑plant projects on commission parcels. Members recommended an October timeline for much of the hand‑pull work, discussed recruiting National Honor Society students and local farmers, and proposed using a QR code at the Old Home Days booth to collect volunteer sign‑ups.
The group also reviewed property maintenance tasks (trail marking, mowing frequency, and dead‑tree removal) and agreed to add volunteer planning to the September agenda. One member suggested focusing on concentrated, repeat efforts at priority sites to make measurable progress.
