I first noticed it in early June. Mis-colored, crinkly leaves on the beech trees encircling our backyard. When I started noticing the same odd-colored leaves on trees throughout Becket, I knew I had to look it up. Sure enough. It’s a thing. A really bad thing.
unfortunately, the ground was bare of snow, but the Becket Beat/Canterbury Farm Community Day on March 9th was a huge success. Instead of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, guided hikes were offered at 11am and 1pm by Dave Bacon, who shared his knowledge of the trails and trees.
hour meeting attended by nearly 200 Becket residents, voters approved a $7,757,877 FY 2026 operating budget, representing a 2.07% increase from 2025, and a $712,489 ambulance budget, representing a 22.5% increase from 2025. A total of 26 articles appeared on the warrant; 21 were passed and five were tabled. Discussion
