Town of Holliston Massachusetts Conservation Lands in Holliston 2009
Town of Holliston Massachusetts Conservation Lands in Holliston 2009 © Holliston Conservation Associates, 2009 INTRODUCTION The Holliston Conservation Commission (HCC) has been entrusted with the care of the many Conservation Lands that have been donated by interested town citizens or have been purchased with monies from the Conservation Fund, State Self-Help, and Community Preservation Act. The parcels are located throughout Holliston and range in size from less than one acre to over 400 acres. This land is available at any time to all town residents for their enjoyment. By law, the land can only be used for "passive recreation", which includes hiking, skiing and picnicking. There are a few rules that govern its use: please pick up after your visit, keep the area clean and do not disturb wildlife, animals or vegetation. Open fires or overnight stays are not allowed without prior permission. If you would like to camp overnight, please contact the Conservation Commission. Fishing is allowed on all parcels, where appropriate, and is subject to state regulations. Hunting is prohibited on all conservation land. The use of motorized vehicles (i.e. ATV's, trail bikes, motorcycles, snowmobiles, etc.) is strictly prohibited on all conservation land . The historical information in this brochure was adapted to a great extent from the "Holliston, Massachusetts 250 Anniversary Commemorative Booklet" that was written by Dorothy Rees and published by the Holliston 250th Anniversary Committee in 1974. In 2009, it was updated jointly by the Holliston Conservation Associates and the Conservation Agent. Publication of this map was made possible with the generous donation of Joseph Cohen, former chairperson of the Holliston Conservation Commission. -
Desmodium Cuspidatum (Muhl.) Loudon Large-Bracted Tick-Trefoil
New England Plant Conservation Program Desmodium cuspidatum (Muhl.) Loudon Large-bracted Tick-trefoil Conservation and Research Plan for New England Prepared by: Lynn C. Harper Habitat Protection Specialist Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program Westborough, Massachusetts For: New England Wild Flower Society 180 Hemenway Road Framingham, MA 01701 508/877-7630 e-mail: [email protected] • website: www.newfs.org Approved, Regional Advisory Council, 2002 SUMMARY Desmodium cuspidatum (Muhl.) Loudon (Fabaceae) is a tall, herbaceous, perennial legume that is regionally rare in New England. Found most often in dry, open, rocky woods over circumneutral to calcareous bedrock, it has been documented from 28 historic and eight current sites in the three states (Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts) where it is tracked by the Natural Heritage programs. The taxon has not been documented from Maine. In Connecticut and Rhode Island, the species is reported but not tracked by the Heritage programs. Two current sites in Connecticut are known from herbarium specimens. No current sites are known from Rhode Island. Although secure throughout most of its range in eastern and midwestern North America, D. cuspidatum is Endangered in Vermont, considered Historic in New Hampshire, and watch-listed in Massachusetts. It is ranked G5 globally. Very little is understood about the basic biology of this species. From work on congeners, it can be inferred that there are likely to be no problems with pollination, seed set, or germination. As for most legumes, rhizobial bacteria form nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots of D. cuspidatum. It is unclear whether there have been any changes in the numbers or distribution of rhizobia capable of forming effective mutualisms with D. -

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. -
