Galen Mudgett, of Sharon, Vt., skims for cuttings of an invasive plant floating in a small pond on his property on July 6, 2020. Mudgett grew up in Sharon -- the family farm was split up when Interstate 89 came through in the late 1960s. After a career in the Air Force, he retired to Sharon 22 years ago and serves as a lister in town. (Valley News - Geoff Hansen) Copyright Valley News.
