About
Invasive Species Control CommitteePurpose
Structure
The committee will be made up of members serving as volunteers (unpaid). Members are appointed by the selectmen to 1-year terms for each fiscal year.
Reporting
The committee will report to the selectmen.
Charge
The exact actions of the committee will be determined by the members, taking into consideration the best interests of Groton and the most effective use of volunteers and other resources that may be provided to the committee. However, it is expected at this time that the committee will undertake the following:
• Survey and document the problem. It will be useful to know what invasive species are found in town, where, and what problems they are causing.
• Be a central point of contact for reporting of invasive issues and remediation actions. Invasive species trancend borders, so it is useful to maintain the big picture of various individual efforts, both public and private.
• Become educated and stay current with invasive species control techniques.
• Recruit and maintain a list of volunteers to call on to help perform labor-intensive and other tasks.
• Perform invasive species control in cooperation with land owners, both public and private.
• Educate the public on invasive species.
