The primary objective is to create a centralized body that <br />can advocate for the health of the town’s ponds while also communicating ongoing <br />efforts to the public. With clear signs of environmental decline — including the effects of <br />climate change and elevated nitrogen levels — the formation of this committee comes <br />at a critical time. By consolidating overlapping initiatives, the committee aims to <br />streamline efforts and present a unified voice. <br />Committee Structure <br />Motion made by Jonathan Small to organize committee. <br /> <br />
