markers, and will exchange them for a four color system.

3’11” for the beach kiosk now in place.
At the top of the trail map and legend will be a wooden separate sign
saying “

Park
”, and at the bottom will be a separate wooden sign saying “
Wallingford
,
Vermont
.”

Tree Identification Markers – Ralph will work up a couple of
proto-types, posts in the ground,
and mounted on trees. Wood signs will be a little less than 8” x 10”.
Ralph will buy cedar, plywood, plexi-glass. Signage will be slanted for
better viewing and to deflect rain. Steve Pytlik has written up descriptions for
the tree species and will flag specific trees for signage.
WCC will put in a sampling of signage this fall.

given to
Shannon
