Conservation Commission Minutes*
*These are

July 25, 2011
Present: Carol
Macleod, Shannon Pytlik, Ann Tiplady, Ralph Nimtz, David Klock
Meeting called to order at 6:45 p.m.
1.
Minutes from the June meeting were unanimously approved.
2.
Old Business.
a.
VYCC did an excellent
job on the new and main trail for the amount of time they had.
b.
Surpac and work days. Flyers
will be printed and posted around town in hopes to attract volunteers.
We will request that Julie email flyers to the Town’s email list.
(Copy of flyer attached.) The
first work day is Sat. August 6th.
WCC will concentrate on moving surpac to cover empty space between beach
and main trail and basketball court to bridge.
(The beach to main trail path was connected and the basketball court to
bridge is about 40% complete. Moving
the surpac from the pit to the basketball court requires a lot of manual
hauling of material via wheel barrow. If
possible, we request that the Selectboard ask the Road Crew to move some of the
surepac from the beach area to the Basketball court.)
c.
Benches. For a future
project WCC would like to construct at least 2 benches – one for the top of
Rim Trail and one for the new ACC trail.
Shannon
will email photos of benches at Pine Hill.
d.
Boardwalk construction and trash pick-up.
We will meet at Stone Meadow at 10 am Sunday August 14 to review bog area
and trash area. Ralph needs to
experiment with possibilities for boardwalk construction.
Once we have looked at the area for trash removal, we will draw up a map
and give the Prudential Committee information on our plans, and, if necessary
request their approval for this endeavor. (We
are 90% sure that the trash resides on Town lands but removal may require use of
Prudential Committee land.)
e.
250th. We
need to have the laminated trail maps for that day.
WCC will come up with a schedule of time assignments for its members.
There will be no treasure hunt.
f.
Wallingford Walks brochure. We
need to add an insert for Stone Meadow containing trail maps and information
about the Area.
g.
New
ADA
trail needs a name. So far
suggested names include “Long Trail” and “Switchback”.
