Michelle Royce Williams is a committed community volunteer in East Lyme where she also chairs the town’s Planning Commission. In partnership with the town, the Vet’s Field knotweed patch has been a great pilot for cooperation and coordination of municipal departments, volunteer knotweed choppers, East Lyme Pollinator Pathway and the Friends of Oswegatchie Hills Nature Preserve. Through community connections and work in this highly-visible area, Michelle hopes to expand awareness and participation while also restoring natural habitat.
