Drumlin Farm makes “Best of Boston”
Boston Magazine’s annual Best Of Boston feature honored Mass Audubon’s Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary as the “Best Family Friendly Activity” in the western suburbs. “Extensive seasonal programming—from beloved “Woolapalooza” sheep-shearing days to strawberry picking—is the pitch-perfect blend of authentically agrarian and totally accessible,” the magazine wrote. “One visit…and you’ll see why this Lincoln oasis has been a cherished tradition for generations of families.”
Conservation Commission seeks members
The Conservation Commission has one and possibly two openings for new commissioners. The group is responsible for permitting building and other activities that take place in or near wetland areas in accordance with the state act and our local by-law, and members often do site visits on the morning of their meeting to get an accurate sense of the property and issues under consideration. Because conservation is an integral part of many town activities, commissioners are expected to participate as liaisons with other boards or committees such as the Agricultural Commission, the School Building Committee, etc.
Those interested are invited to come to a meeting to see how it functions. The group meets every third Wednesday starting at 7 p.m.; the next few are on September 4, September 25, and October 16. For more information please call the Conservation Department at 781-259-2612.
