Workshop on battery-powered garden tools in Cavendish June 5

The Cavendish Energy Committee will host a workshop about current advances in battery-operated tools for the yard and garden at 6 p.m. on Monday. June 5 in the Cavendish Town Office meeting room, 37 High St.

Rick Vaughan from Bibens Ace Hardware in Springfield will discuss specific brands, as well as the MowElectric! Campaign, a grassroots initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the use of electric lawn care equipment.

The Energy Committee in Cavendish has presented workshops on a variety of topics affecting the ecology of the town, state, country and world. The committee believes that the switch from gasoline-powered tools to electric-powered tools for the garden/yard and for any other usage represents a major step forward in battling the effects of climate change.

The workshop is open to all; registration is not required. Light refreshments will be served.

The Energy Committee operates on behalf of the people of Cavendish and is a committee of the Cavendish Community and Conservation Association, a non-profit organization supporting projects and events in the town.
