  • Sharon Conservation Commission
    Conservation Commission Meeting Sharon Community Center April 27, 2017 - DRAFT Peg Arguimbau, Chair, Meredith Avery, Jon Wasserman, Michael Donatelle and Alan Westman were the members present. Members not present included Keevin Geller and Stephen Cremer. The Conservation Administrator, Greg Meister, was also present. A sign-in sheet is on file in the office listing other attendees of the meeting. Meeting started at 7:45pm 7:45pm –Violation Enforcement, 348 North Main Street Ed Little informed the Commission that the last time he met with them, he told members that he would be taking the manure off of his property. At this point in time, he has removed about 85 percent of the manure. He is working on removing the remaining material, however, due to the current rains; it is proving a bit challenging. Once the rains recede, he will continue removing the remaining pile. With respect to bringing the area back, he would prefer not to hire a consultant, but instead use landscapers and folks from Norfolk Aggie, with whom he has relationships. He will also pay whatever fine the Commission feels appropriate. Arguimbau mentioned that some of the area disturbed will come back on its own. She also mentioned that the correct type of seed mix should be used. Most importantly however, was for the land area to be brought back into good condition. She asked the rest of the Commission for their thoughts. Avery brought up timing of when the remaining manure would be removed. Additionally, she also noted that the correct seed mix should be used, and perhaps someone from the Aggie school should be present to assist with final removal of manure, so that not too much of the top soil is removed.

  • Natural Resources and Open Space Draft
    DRAFT FOR LOCAL REVIEW Natural, Open Space, and Recreation Resources 6. Natural, Open Space and Recreation Resources Introduction The well-protected shallow harbor, coastal plains, fertile river valley, and adjacent upland areas that characterize the Town of Hingham have drawn humans for centuries. Native Americans – members of the Massachusett triBe -- survived on the diverse food resources of the coastal clam flats, Weir River, and upland grasslands and forests. Today, these sites add to the overall quality of life in the town, providing places to explore, play, relax and recharge. Hingham’s commitment to protecting these resources has safeguarded them for the benefit of generations to come. World’s End, a 251-acre peninsula extending from Hingham’s northeast This chapter of the inventory addresses coastline, was protected from development by a private land trust, The Hingham’s natural, open space and Trustees of Reservations, in 1957. It is one of the town’s most treasured open spaces. (Photo courtesy of The Trustees of Reservations) recreation resources. It is divided into three sections, as follows:1 • A description of existing conditions and trends, organized by resource type, and including: o An overview of existing natural, open space and recreation resources; o A synopsis of past and current efforts to protect these resources; and o A description of the many public (federal, state and local) and private entities involved in resource protection. • An outline of regional natural resources and open space and recreation considerations; and • A summary of issues and challenges related to the resources to be considered in the 2020 Master Plan.
