Residents of Conifer are encouraged to take action against invasive plant species following a recent town hall meeting held by the Conifer Area Council. During the meeting, community members were informed about the importance of controlling weeds, particularly common marigold, which has been identified as a species that could pose challenges in the area.

The council highlighted a valuable resource designed to assist residents in developing an integrated weed management plan. This resource aims to guide homeowners through the necessary steps to effectively manage and control invasive plants in their yards.

In addition to the weed management discussion, Christina Duff, Senior Planner for Jeff Gold Open Space, announced an upcoming open house event. This event will focus on the updated conservation master plan and is scheduled for March 3, from 5 to 7 PM at Westchester Middle School. Residents are invited to attend and learn more about conservation efforts in the community.

These initiatives reflect the council's commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement, encouraging residents to actively participate in preserving the natural landscape of Conifer. As the town prepares for the open house, residents are urged to consider their role in managing local ecosystems and to take advantage of the resources available to them.
