Beautification Committee:
The Beautification Committee’s mission is to provide guidance on interior and exterior aesthetic choices for Town properties and to enhance the natural environment throughout Weston. Much of the planting program is supported by the Greyledge Fund, through The Harry Rogers Trust, established in 2007. The Trust stipulates that distributions are to be used "for the planting and maintenance of flowering trees, shrubs and plants on the roadside of the public roads located within the Town of Weston."
(updated per Board of Selectmen October 5, 2023 meeting)
The Beautification Committee coordinates with Weston Town Hall and the Town’s landscape maintenance crew. The committee emphasizes sustainable practices; native, pollinator-friendly plant material; and the importance of safe pest and disease management. The Beautification Committee also maintains the design of a number of seasonal planters and holiday decorations at Town Hall and around Town.
