Hi Craig
As discussed yesterday, here are a couple of resources on managing phragmites.
https://plantscience.psu.edu/research/projects/wildland-weed-management/publications/invasive-species-
quicksheets/phragmites
https://www.ecolandscaping.org/07/landscape-challenges/invasive-plants/successfully-managing-phragmites/
I will look into what the permitting requirements will be for this work. I have attached a couple of aerial images from
google earth. Can you confirm that this is the extent of the area of phragmites growth that has been mowed in the past?
I will also speak with the chairman about the tree removal though I think because some of these trees are in the wetland
resource area and 35 foot no-disturb zone you will need to file a Request for Determination of Applicability. I have
attached one you have done in the past – it is a fairly simple process. Alternatively you can wait and include all the work
in one application (phrag and tree work). Information on filing is here: http://www.yarmouth.ma.us/696/Filing-Forms
