Overview: During the recent Southwick Agricultural Commission meeting, members unanimously supported a plan for clearing and replanting an overgrown field on Hillside Road, contingent on approval from the Conservation Commission. The project, presented by Jeff Smith from Svenia Associates, involves Lisa Chapman’s property, designated under Chapter 61A for agricultural use, and aims to clear invasive species to plant Christmas trees, blueberries, and other perennials. The commission emphasized the urgency of beginning the work while the ground remains frozen to prevent soil disturbance, as delays could complicate matters significantly.
