A visitor, Stan Boyd-Robertson, joined the group at this point and stayed for the remainder of the meeting; he was interested in discussion on the Bradley Lake logging.

Website: Alan outlined his progress to date. He had produced an excellent flyer to post regarding this meeting. He would like help to determine what content to put on the Website, such as members’ profiles, the NRI, info for new builders regarding wetlands, invasive species, etc. Jesse suggested links to other resources, such as the DES.

Bridge Inspection: Tina, Jesse, and Nan had inspected two bridges that the DOT is to repair, one on Route 11 near the blinker light and the other on Route 4 below the junction of 4/11 heading south. There was no sign of invasives or wetlands near the sites. A long-term drain was noticed at the Route 4 site used to empty drain water from the road surface into the Blackwater River. Tina noted this in her reply to the firm hired by the DOT, McFarland Johnson (Concord).

Meeting was adjourned at 8:40 PM
