Washington Grove Legacy Meadow Management Plan
WG Meadow Conservation Park Update from the Mayor
The Montgomery County Parks Department started their work on the Washington Grove Meadow Conservation Park this week. They are removing non-native invasive species from the hedgerow, field and border between upper and lower field. This will facilitate evaluation for re-planting which will occur in the spring. Bare areas will get reseeding for erosion control.
The Meadow Committee, Town Council and the Parks Department are still working on the maintenance agreement. The current draft plan is posted on the Town web site for residents to review. We don't yet have the Parks Department response to this initial draft proposal.

The Master Plan process is a 2-stage process. This first stage is "Approval" by the Planning Commission. The second stage is "Adoption" by the Town Council.
Council Approved 2009 Master Plan
The Town's Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 3, 2008, regarding the recommended update to the Town's Master Plan. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Planning Commission announced that the record is being held open through October 20, 2008, for submitting additional written comments. Such comments should be submitted to the Town Office by mail (P.O. Box 216) or through the mail slot in the Council Room door.
The latest version of the Planning Commission Recommended Master Plan, June 2008
After the Planning Commission approves its final recommended changes (perhaps on November 5) and submits a report to the Town Council, the Town Council can introduce an ordinance for adoption of the updated Master Plan.
Roy McCathran, the Town's first mayor, referred poetically to Washington Grove as "a town within a forest, an oasis of tranquility and a rustic jewel in the diadem of the great free state of Maryland."
