Woburn commission sets Conservation Day planning meeting, refines tree-sale plan

The Woburn Conservation Commission on Feb. 22 set a March 14 planning meeting at 5:30 p.m. to prepare for Conservation Day, tentatively scheduled for May 4, and discussed logistics for the annual tree-sale.

Program lead reported a preliminary stock list that exceeded the usual $3,000 budget by $42; commissioners said the commission should remain within the appropriation and refine the order with staff. Volunteers offered to donate but staff recommended staying under budget to avoid procurement complications. Members discussed limiting purchases (typically one tree per property), a waiting list for additional orders, and the need to decide tree varieties and quantities with staff and vendor Megan.

The commission agreed to confirm April 27 as the tentative sale date and to finalize the list and pricing with Theresa and Megan ahead of the April event.
