The Department serves the people of Duxbury by working with other departments and civic groups such as the Conservation Commission, Coastal Resources Dept., Open Space and Recreation Committee and Garden Club to ensure that our public lands, open space, facilities and scenic ways remain pristine.
The Town of Duxbury was awarded the Tree City USA Award by the National Arbor Day Foundation and the USDA Forest Service for the eleventh consecutive year. The award is presented annually to cities and towns with outstanding urban forestry programs.
The department completed the renovation of the Keene Street Baseball Field Complex this spring with the help of the School Dept., Recreation Dept. and Duxbury Youth Baseball. The department has received $120,000.00 in Community Preservation Act funding to build a new multi purpose field next to the Keene Street Complex. This project will be completed over the next two years and will greatly reduce the overcrowding on our sports fields.
