The Town of Egremont was awarded a Community Forest Stewardship grant for $19,050.00 from the MASS Department of Conservation & Recreation to fund the first year's implementation of the French Park Forest Management Plan.
Grant activities in the forested sections of the Park will include invasive species treatment and removal, a complete survey, and delineation of Park boundaries to ensure that all activity remains within French Park. Other work to be carried out in 2022 will include planning and grant writing with active park committees, creating educational or interpretive signage, trailblazing, and infested/weakened tree removal. The Buildings and Grounds Department will coordinate all grant-funded work.
