Below is an announcement from the Wilmington Department of Public Works:
The Town of Wilmington has developed a five year Vegetation Management Plan (VMP) to ensure compliance with Rights of Way (ROW) management regulations 333CMR11 for the control of hazard, detrimental, nuisance, and invasive vegetation in order to promote safe travel. The methods proposed by the VMP include mechanical, chemical, cultural (good housekeeping techniques), and developmental control (through ongoing Community Development Technical Review Committee reviews of proposed site projects throughout Town). The number one priority of the plan is public safety. The last 5 Year VMP (2020-2024) was approved in 2019 by the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) Vegetation Management Plan Panel. The Town is in the process of preparing the next 5-year VMP for calendar years 2026-2030.
The virtual Public Hearing for the draft VMP will be held on Friday April 18, 2025 at 11:30, and public comments are due to MDAR by 5pm on Monday April 21, 2025. Draft documents for review, along with the address for the virtual Public Hearing can be found on the Environmental Monitor notice located at the following link: https://www.wilmingtonma.gov/highway-division/vegetation-management
