Conservation Commission Happenings:

- DATE CHANGE: November 11: Dalton Fall Roadside Cleanup (regular monthly DCC meeting moved up to November 14)
Dalton’s updated NRI now available!
On Tuesday, September 19, the public was invited to the presentation of the updated Town of Dalton NRI (Natural Resource Inventory) by Elise Lawson of Watershed to Wildlife. If you were unable to attend, the updated NRI can be found HERE.
On Saturday, October 21, from 9am-12 Noon, the Dalton Conservation Commission will be holding its 2nd “BioBlitz”. A BioBlitz is a biological survey that aims to record all the living species within a designated area. This BioBlitz will be focused on surveying species within the Forest Lake State Park forest and the back section of the David Dana Forest. The 1st BioBlitz was held on May 20, with approximately 80 species being observed and recorded, primarily within the David Dana Forest, along with several additional observations by participants elsewhere within the Town of Dalton. The data collected from the BioBlitz, using the “iNaturalist” phone app to identify and catalogue the various species observed, has been incorporated into the update of the Town of Dalton NRI. Some of the more unique observations recorded included the Blue Cohosh and Yellow Lady Slippers.

Identifications will be uploaded using the iNaturalist app and to this project page. Thank you! The Dalton Conservation Commission |
Fall Roadside Cleanup!
Come join us as we prepare for winter in Dalton. We will gather to cleanup our town’s roads in preparation for winter weather and finish with a BBQ afterwards to reward our efforts. If you know the road(s) you wish to be assigned to, please email townadmin@townofdalton.com or wait to be assigned a road when we gather that morning at the Municipal Building @ 8:30. Hope to see you there!
