Hi there, We have a vacancy on the Conservation Commission. Please see the vacancy announcement on the Town's Website HERE<https://www.lincolntown.org/542/Volunteers-Needed> for more information (scroll down towards the bottom).
Japanese Knotweed Volunteers Wanted The Lincoln Conservation Department is seeking more volunteers to identify and control invasive Japanese knotweed patches around town. Knotweed is an aggressive invasive plant that quickly forms dense stands and outcompetes native plants. Our volunteers "adopt" knotweed patches and control them manually three times/summer. If you're interested in invasive plant control, this is the role for you! Please contact Conservation Planner Stacy Carter at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> for further details. Check out these upcoming events (which still have openings): * Tuesday Trail Walks - Most of the Conservation Department's Trail walks are FULL. However, there are still spots open for our May 13th Walk at Farrington Nature Linc. See details and sign up here<https://www.lincolntown.org/DocumentCenter/View/98293/Trail-Walks-Spring-2025-FINAL>. * May 21st - Conservation Tour: Farrington Nature Linc - Join Lincoln Land Conservation Trust, Farrington Nature Linc, and Conservation Dept staff at Farrington Nature Linc to hear about Farrington's programming and an upcoming conservation project that seeks to protect 77 acres of land on the Farrington Property and adjacent Panetta Family property. Learn more and RSVP to attend here<https://www.lincolntown.org/DocumentCenter/View/98376/Conservation-Tour---Farrington-Nature-Linc-5-21-25-FINAL>. * May 15th & 30th and June 6th: Garlic Mustard Volunteer Pull Days - Help manage this invasive plant across town by pulling on your own property and by joining the Lincoln Conservation Department and Lincoln Land Conservation Trust for Pop Up Pull Days! Garlic mustard season runs through June 13th. Click Here<https://www.lincolntown.org/DocumentCenter/View/98364/Garlic-Mustard-Bulletin-Board-Notice-2025> for more info.

Known as "birding by ear," this technique also helps those with limited vision enjoy a birding adventure. Visit: https://www.massaudubon.org/news/latest/calls-of-spring-birding-by-ear to listen along, then hit the trails and hear the calls in action. Birder's Tip: Download the Merlin app from Cornell Lab of Ornithology to record and identify bird calls on the go.
