· Our committee has completed a 2nd Town Tree Tour Booklet.
· This committee organized a 2nd Rain Barrel purchase program. Again the sale was very successful. Orders for barrels went very quickly and they were picked up at the Town Transfer station.
· Working in conjunction with Weston Nursery, we organized the sale of Pollinator Kits that you could order in the spring and were available for pick up at upper Transfer Station in June. Each kit cost is $50/kit. You would receive 6 one-gallon pots in each kit. There was a choice of either sun loving or shade loving plants. Orders were made through Weston Nursery but our committee managed the communication and logistics for this project including pick up of pots. It was very successful and all of the plants that were delivered looked very healthy and hardy.
The committee tried to be helpful in disseminating information and/or articles on composting and trying to reduce the use of plastics in our homes.
