ANNUAL NEW YEARS DAY HIKE

 Paul Wieloch and Liza Moran of the Dudley Conservation Land Trust reported to the Board of Selectmen Monday that the trust has completed its project to plant 19 native trees around town.
 

The project, funded by a Janet Malser Humanities Trust grant, was part of the trust members’ commitment to improving the town’s public spaces.
 

Red maple trees were planted by the town highway garage, on Pine Street by the basketball court and at Zmetra Memorial Square.
 

Mr. Wielock thanked retired Assistant Town Administrator Michelle Jervis, and the town highway department for helping with the project.
 

The DCLT is a community-oriented conservation organization with wildlife sanctuaries totaling more than 450 acres.
