CC GRANT FOR WETLAND INVENTORY
The Conservation Commission is happy to announce that it was recently awarded a $9,000.00 CTAP Grant from the New Hampshire Estuaries Program. The monies will be used to fund a portion of a Wetland Inventory/Prime Wetland Study of the 54 wetlands over 2 acres in size within the town. The Commission has contracted with Mark West of West Environmental of Lee to perform the research and the final report. The project will be made up of three phases: Wetland Inventory, Wetland Evaluation and Prime Wetland Designation. Work will begin within the next month and will near completion in late 2007.
The Conservation Commission has been awarded a NHEP
transaction grant for Glen Oakes via the Center for Land Conservation Assistance, part of SPNHF for $3000.
The purpose of this grant is to offset transaction costs for the acquisition of the Glen Oakes property.
GLEN OAKES
The Open Space Committee is in the beginning process of creating a Wildlife/Song Bird Inventory for the Glen Oakes Land. We are looking for volunteers to help with the field work for the study. If you have an interest in wildlife and/or song birds, this would be a great opportunity to get out onto the land and discover some of its hidden treasures! Please contact Janice O’Brien for more information or to volunteer at
j-obrien@comcast.net or 679-5545.
