Town of Poland to honor late forester Fred Huntress

SUN JOURNAL • February 7, 2024

The town will pay tribute to the late Fred Huntress with a memorial bench to be placed in the center of the village. The Select Board committed $5,500 to the endeavor at Tuesday night’s meeting. In addition, Selectperson Stephen Robinson said the town’s Conservation Commission plans to add a bronze plaque and plant a white oak honoring Huntress, an acclaimed Maine forester who served in that capacity for the town from 1964 until his passing in November 2023.
