The Conservation Commission is seeking a volunteer to be the Community Garden Coordinator.
The volunteer is the liaison between the gardeners and Conservation and the Stewardship committee for the community gardening plot on Breakneck Hill Conservation land.
To qualify, volunteers must be a resident with at least 3 years of gardening experience, be committed to organic gardening, and have “A willingness to collaborate and oversee gardeners”.
