Mendon Conservation Board Backs Eagle Scout Trail Signage Plan
Mendon Conservation Commission clears Eagle Scout trail project, extends logging enforcement deadline.
Conservation · Meeting of March 29, 2026
Mendon Conservation Commission clears Eagle Scout trail project, extends logging enforcement deadline. Chaired by Bob Sweet, the board voted unanimously to let 15-year-old Life Scout Cameron Hood proceed with a roughly $600 trail-signage and kiosk project at Inman Hill Wildlife Conservation Area, targeted for installation in July and August 2026. Separately, wetlands consultant DeShang, hired by a property owner under an enforcement order for unpermitted logging on Washington Street, said "I'm hired by the applicant.
I'm not hired by the town. I want to be neutral," while reporting a possible vernal pool on site. The board voted to let stacked logs be removed under machinery restrictions and pushed DeShang's full wetland-impact report to the May 14 meeting on a 7-0 vote.
Members also chose Beals and Thomas, 3-0 with one abstention, for a stormwater-regulation peer review.
