Notice to Residents re: Unsolicited Packages of Seeds

Any resident with an unsolicited package of seeds received in the mail should not use them.

The Department of Agriculture has issued an alert that these appear to be from China and while some contain harmless varieties, they also can contain invasive plants that will cause harm by completely taking over and pushing out any other types of plants. Please double bag them in plastic and dispose of them in the rubbish if you do receive them.

Please email Matt Marro at the Conservation office with any questions at mmarro@westminster-ma.gov.
