WOODSTOCK — Town Clerk Judy Walberg will be selling transfer station permits from 10 a.m. to noon Jan. 28, Jan. 29, Feb. 4 and Feb. 5 and Feb. 11 and Feb. 12 at the Woodstock Transfer Station.
Cash or checks will be accepted. The vehicle registration must be presented at the time of purchase. The cost is $150 ($75 if the majority of residents are over 65 years old).
Walberg said, “Just a reminder that 2016 Transfer Station Permits expire on Feb. 1. I’ll be there these three weekends so you won’t be turned away because you did not renew. Our constables will be there beginning Feb. 3 to make sure the 2017 permits are affixed to windshields.”

The Last Green Valley, Inc. (TLGV) is coordinating its second annual Spring Outdoors and is looking for walk and event leaders. Spring Outdoors launched in 2016 and was a great success.
In 2017, Spring Outdoors will run from the Spring Equinox on March 20 until the Summer Solstice on June 21.
Similar to Walktober, nonprofits and businesses can benefit by hosting a walk or event that will connect people to their organization’s lands, trails, waters, treasures, services and stories.
Walktober was tremendously popular this past fall, drawing more than 64,000 people with almost 300 opportunities to enjoy all of our wonderful resources in The Last Green Valley National Heritage Corridor’s 35 towns. Walktober leaders are encouraged to take this new opportunity to reach more visitors through Spring Outdoors. Land trusts, conservation commissions, trails committees, farms, historical societies and small businesses can again highlight what makes each of them unique.
If you have not been a Spring Outdoors or Walktober leader before, now is the time to step up! TLGV Project Administrator Marcy Dawley (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 860-774-3300) is ready to help.
There is only one requirement to offer a Spring Outdoors and Walktober activity - you, your organization or your business must be a TLGV member or partner.
TLGV will develop a web-based brochure that can be downloaded and printed listing all of the activities, plus all of the choices will be listed on TLGV’s Facebook page and website events calendar.
