Hillsdale extends Roe Jan Park mowing deadline after May rains to avoid field damage
Summary
Berkshire Valley Dairy LLC advised that saturated fields would be damaged by mowing before May 31; the Town Board adopted Resolution 95-2025 to extend the mowing deadline until conditions no longer risk major damage, citing bird migration and nesting concerns.
Berkshire Valley Dairy LLC informed the board that heavy, sustained May rainfall left Roe Jan Park fields saturated and that proceeding with legally entitled mowing by May 31 would cause major damage from heavy equipment. The board voted to extend the mowing deadline until field conditions permit mowing without causing damage, adopting Resolution 95-2025 (Ayes 4).
Discussion at the meeting mentioned bird migration and nesting as additional factors in timing. The minutes do not provide a new specific deadline date; the extension is conditional on field conditions improving.
