Dear MaynardCAN-ners,
Our group has been a bit out of commission as a group for a few years, as our active members have spread out to work on our 3 bigger projects with other committees: the emerging Assabet Village Food Co-op, the fate of the golf course and the development of 129 Parker St.
Thanks for your patience! Updates about our work on these 3 projects is for another email.
**Now I want to invite you all to join us in cleaning up an emerging piece of conservation land, Walcott Woods, on November 7 at 10 - noon. (Rain date Nov. 8) Walcott Woods is a small square of land bordered by Walcott St., Lewis St. and Prospect St. and some neighbors. The entrance is between 25 and 27 Lewis St.
Wear insect repellent and long pants to protect against any poison ivy. Bring a shovel garden gloves if you have them; we will have some gloves there, as well as other tools and trash bags.
The Maynard Conservation Commission got a grant from CISMA and the River Stewardship Council to hire a landscaper and get some expert advice about replacing invasives with hardy natives, and the work is beginning to show! The New England Wildflower Society did a botanical survey of the plot, which will be available on Nov. 7th.
If you want a copy of the flyer, which I cannot attach to a google group post, or if you have any questions, please email me at sherry@sherryzitter.com, or call my cell at 617-610-2763. Hope to see you there!
Sherry
