Happy Earth Day! While Earth Day is today, April 22, the Essex Conservation Committee is celebrating on Sunday, April 24 by organizing an Invasive Species Removal Day at Indian Brook Park. Come help remove invasive plant species, such as buckthorn, from sections of the park on Sunday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Invasive species harm the environment by crowding out native species. To help with the removal of invasives, meet in the lower Indian Brook Park parking lot at 2 p.m. Wear work gloves and sturdy shoes. Bring shovels or loppers if you have them; other tools will be provided.

For more information, contact Town Planner Greg Duggan at 878-1343 or gduggan@essex.org.
