Benson Park Potential Projects
- Identify tree and plant species with markers inside the park.
- Refurbish picnic tables.
- A project on "leave no trace" principles and how to incorporate them in the park.
- Update and install permanent signs to replace the temporary signs on the buildings.
- Design a self-guided nature trail brochure.
- Non-native plant removal and replace with native trees and shrubs.
- Investigate, recreate and install the totem pole from the old park.
- Create a tree barrier between Route 111 and the Haselton Farm trail.
These ideas were solicited from members of the Benson Park Committee. Further discussion of ideas are welcome and the committee may or may not accept all of the above.
- Approval of an idea is a two step process with the Committee:
- A preliminary proposal should be presented to the committee
Upon receipt of preliminary approval, a formal plan would be developed for final approval from the Committee. Larger projects may require Board of Selectmen approval.
