1. Minutes from the meeting of April 29, 2015 were reviewed and approved.
2. Bare Meadow Projects
Projects 1, 2, and maybe 3 are bog bridges.
• Varying widths of corrugated pipe will be purchased for boardwalk sections.
• Tom will talk to DPW about a site visit for project #4 and getting the stone
dust.
• We are hopeful that a Boy Scout will do a bridge for project #5.
• Projects #2 and 3 should be done first since they are the wettest and closest
to the vernal pool.
3. Walk Reading Weekend
• Sounds like participation was down this year from last year.
• All walks led by Trails Committee were held.
4. Higgins /summer projects
Is the Higgins bridge rebuild covered by the Birch Meadow Improvement project?
5. New Members
Are they on hold until sunsetting vote? Tom will email Paula.
