We have the coastal cleanup coming up in September, so there's going to be 75 00:20:41,210 --> 00:20:41,850 a very busy month. 76 00:20:43,970 --> 00:20:49,430 Some of you were not at the meeting last week, but just a recap. Oh, I have 77 00:20:49,430 --> 00:20:51,570 I have visual aids. Where did I put it? 78 00:20:51,730 --> 00:20:51,850 Okay. 79 00:20:52,450 --> 00:20:54,170 So first order of business. 80 00:20:56,090 --> 00:20:58,410 Madison, I'm here to do a poster. 81 00:20:58,930 --> 00:20:59,850 And it's beautiful. 82 00:21:00,370 --> 00:21:03,890 So I was going to send this around. 83 00:21:04,230 --> 00:21:05,670 And if you guys are happy with it, 84 00:21:05,810 --> 00:21:07,730 I'm going to just put it up on the Bulletin Board tonight. 85 00:21:07,930 --> 00:21:10,490 If you have changes that you think should be made to it, 86 00:21:10,650 --> 00:21:14,230 this is your chance to make those suggestions. 87 00:21:14,230 --> 00:21:44,210 and so the idea that we came up with last meeting was that we would, we wanted to invite the public to participate but without going through the whole rigmarole of organized crews necessarily so we thought we would invite people to do their own individual cleanup and give them information to access the data entry form. 88 00:21:44,210 --> 00:21:50,610 online and that we should like accept all of the data entry forms that kind of tabulate 89 00:21:50,610 --> 00:21:57,530 them for the town to kind of so it feels a little bit collective but it's not the you know 90 00:21:57,530 --> 00:22:03,890 hassle of coordinating with the group and all that stuff. So everybody okay with this? 91 00:22:06,150 --> 00:22:12,010 So that was the idea behind contact this person to get information about 92 00:22:13,050 --> 00:22:19,990 doing a cleanup or it seemed like we should leave the option open. If you want to 93 00:22:19,990 --> 00:22:26,910 join a crew you can. So I have an organized cleanup submitted through the 94 00:22:26,910 --> 00:22:34,190 States website and Sabrina does also. I'm going to do the skillings river on 95 00:22:34,190 --> 00:22:41,810 September 19th and Sabrina's crew is going to do Jordan River on the 16th and so 96 00:22:41,810 --> 00:22:45,950 So those will be at low tide, on foot, on the shore. 97 00:22:46,570 --> 00:22:53,270 So if people contact me through the poster, which will also be posted on the Facebook 98 00:22:53,270 --> 00:23:01,590 page, town website, email, if they want to join a crew, those two cleanup days are options, 99 00:23:01,910 --> 00:23:08,590 otherwise I will give them the information about how to access the form and do an individual 100 00:23:08,590 --> 00:23:08,910 cleanup. 101 00:23:10,770 --> 00:23:18,450 I have also offered the opportunity for you guys, my colleagues, to join me with a water-based 102 00:23:18,450 --> 00:23:24,010 cleanup via kayak if you're interested, and I believe Madison, and did you also want to 103 00:23:24,010 --> 00:23:31,770 do that? Okay, well you don't have to. I just couldn't remember. Terry did respond also that she 104 00:23:31,770 --> 00:23:35,910 want to do so. So I figured out which days have extra high tide. 105 00:23:36,130 --> 00:23:43,050 Oh it's high tide. I'm done. It was a pretty nice paddling, not heavy current. 106 00:23:43,350 --> 00:23:47,830 Yeah, the partridge co-variant is pretty protected so it's not like, you know, 107 00:23:47,830 --> 00:23:49,430 it's going to get wet in the head. 108 00:23:52,250 --> 00:23:55,430 So that's the plan for the coast of cleanup. 109 00:23:56,150 --> 00:24:04,050 any questions? I was going to, if there were any changes to the poster, go ahead and post 110 00:24:04,050 --> 00:24:13,530 this on the town Facebook page now and then do a cut of a reminder post later on.

I make up. And what he does is he, when my son read a book 242 00:35:14,700 --> 00:35:21,100 that he wrote, he's written like six books on stone walls and new England. Oh, that's 243 00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:27,740 I haven't read it. I've heard about it. That's one of his expertise. But then he also does, 244 00:35:28,940 --> 00:35:35,800 he goes through the woods, like if there were woods behind my house, if there were farms, 245 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:42,720 he could tell from the way the trees are growing that it was a farm or, you know, it was a great job. 246 00:35:43,660 --> 00:35:49,900 Now I can tell the difference between the property lines, between us and what is now Gordon Donald's property. 247 00:35:49,900 --> 00:35:58,080 Yeah, yeah, and in the in the spring I can tell right behind my house where there was once a path.
