Climate Action and Resilience Planning Process ResultsThank you to the Pine Hill parents who, through two community-wide surveys, informed the Climate and Resilience Working Group that the school lacks adequate cooling on hot May, June and September days and that "heat-out days" are actually more frequent than snow days. This particular issue has emerged as a primary risk in the Building and Infrastructure Section of the Climate Action and Resilience planning process and needs swift attention. Learn more. |

Sherborn Picks Up - April 2023The Town of Sherborn’s Select Board and its Department of Public (DPW) works is supporting this community volunteer effort to pick up litter in Sherborn in April. Help us fill the WHY!!A public art installation of letters spelling out “WHY”- made of rebar and chicken wire and standing 5’ tall - will again be installed by the DPW at the Sherborn 16/27 split. For the April Cleanup, volunteers are encouraged to sign up to pick up litter during times and in areas of their choosing. Litter has accumulated throughout Sherborn on roadsides, adjacent to sidewalks and at the edges of recreational areas such as Fessenden, Laurel Field and the Playground. The sign up just lets us know your interest and plans, you will not be formally committed to anything - and we will be able to reach you with details, photos and local updates throughout the month. |
