Turcotte Field Work October 19th

A company called Forest Savers from Vermont will be cleaning up the edges of the Turcotte Field on Wednesday Oct. 19th. They will be grinding the small stumps left over from the forest harvest that we had done last winter. They will also be cutting and grinding the brush and the invasive plants around the field. There is also a small patch of woods in the field that they will remove.

The Conservation Commission is trying to preserve the field to the way it was in the past when the Stockdale family was farming in the town of Rollinsford.

Any one walking or riding out there on this day should be very careful because the machinery will be very noisy and the operators may not have very good visibility.
