At the January 17, 2012 Board of Selectmen meeting, the Lyme disease study committee submitted a report on its extremely successful first year of work, and its plans for the future. To date
- 27 deer culled
- zero safety issues
- comprehensive system of vetting the hunters created and implemented
- professional group of hunters recruited
- many illegal tree stands removed
- hunters became the eyes and ears of the town in the woods, and the stewards of the Medfield forests, both alerting the town to dumping and helping to clear trails
- education program planned for April
- information distributed in the schools via the Thursday Packets and working with the school nurses
- tick posters placed
The selectmen authorized the committee to continue its good work for the upcoming year. Plans include adding more lands to the areas hunted, and giving the hunters the winter to scout the best hunting spots.
