and we'll continue to check up and receive reports. <br /> We're starting to work with. Americorp for the 2019-2020 season. Pretty straightforward annual <br /> activities. I've also been working with Tribal Americorp members at Pickerel Cove for general trail <br /> maintenance and storm clean up. <br /> On the land management side of things I've been working,with the friends group of the refuge to <br /> distribute new brochures and trail guides. Generally speaking the dumping has been increasing.as <br /> of late, hopefully we can install more trail cameras soon so people can be held accountable. In general <br /> we're looking into assessing storm damage from the bomb cyclone. I've received reports from <br /> stewards of downed trees. I added hunting season signs on all trail heads as an FYI. Also looking for <br /> ways to address some slumped. areas on the trails that have been collecting water over the years. <br /> I'm going to talk to WEBNNER about it. As far as outreach goes,,Agent and I 'talked with the AP <br /> biology class about Johns Pond Herring Run, History of the Quashnet River and the upcoming <br /> restoration. Also a similar field trip in November with the 71h grade class. I'll also be attending MA <br /> trails conference the end of this month and a chainsaw training course. I'm also presenting at a break <br /> out session as part of the panel called Navigating Wetland Regulations and working with <br /> Conservation Commissions to help the public determine the permits for their trails. <br /> All the bylaw changes were passed at the last Town Meeting. The bans drafted for plastic straws <br /> .and polystyrene were indefinitely. postponed, so we'll just work on public awareness and discuss <br /> results from other towns and move forward in potentially May or next fall to get it back on the warrant: <br /> This.is a good opportunity for people to really understand the whole picture of recycling and current <br /> contacts in our town. <br /> I left another message about the herring count program, I will tell you about the data when it comes <br /> out. I've been working with the Natural Resource.department. in seeding the quahogs that will <br /> eventually be harvested and will help with the nitrogen removal out of the estuaries. <br /> Mr. Sweet asked if Conservation Commission is becoming a key player to the whole recycle question <br /> in town? <br /> Agent said other committees came up with the article. It's really about a push to incentivize recycling <br /> industry and support for that.Andrew Gottlieb was thorough and covered everything that I would have <br /> talked about and I didn't want to be duplicative. I'm happy to support any initiative on this, I just didn't <br /> have anything to add to what Gottlieb said. <br /> Mr. McKay said.maybe in the future we could do a roll call vote just to show support/go on record as <br /> supporting. Agent said that's a great idea, even as an endorsement. <br /> Agent also mentioned that The Town launched their Facebook Page, which is huge, to be able to . <br /> relay Town information. <br /> Motion: Mr. Smith moved to adjourn, seconded by Mr. McKay. <br /> Vote: 5-0 unanimous <br /> Meeting adjourned at 7:23pm <br /> Respectful) Sub ted, <br /> trin ng <br /> d ecretary <br /> 5 <br />
