The Northborough Conservation Commission announced a request for proposals seeking a licensed forester to prepare an updated forest management plan addressing climate change and carbon sequestration plus two harvest plans (Mount Pisgah and Edmond Hill) and related public education. The commission distributed the RFP to nine foresters with community‑forestry and carbon‑sequestration training; bids are due by noon on May 1.

Commission staff said available conservation and grant funds can support the effort and that some state reimbursement programs (community forestry grants) require upfront payment with later reimbursement. Commissioners encouraged outreach to additional qualified foresters and noted the town expects to seek grant reimbursements as appropriate.

Staff also publicized a volunteer invasive‑plant removal ("Weed Warriors") event at Edmond Hill Woods, meet at Meadowbrook Drive on Saturday, May 10 at 10 a.m., and encouraged participants to bring gloves, loppers and pruning tools.
