Viader tv. So I want everybody to kinda speak up tonight.

26

28
00:01:34,905 --> 00:01:36,405

00:01:38,545 --> 00:01:40,005
can you sit for Jay this evening?

31
00:01:40,465 --> 00:01:42,445
Yes. And I don't think we're

32
00:01:42,445 --> 00:01:43,725
missing any other commissioners.

33
00:01:43,725 --> 00:01:48,245
Is that accurate? No. Okay, good.

34
00:01:49,115 --> 00:01:51,485
Just one. We'll stop the meeting

35
00:01:51,545 --> 00:01:52,765
off with the approval of minutes.

36
00:01:53,045 --> 00:01:54,445
Everyone should have gotten a digital copy

37
00:01:54,505 --> 00:01:56,125
and there's also a copy in front of you.

38
00:01:57,385 --> 00:01:59,965
If there's no, no corrections needed,

39
00:01:59,995 --> 00:02:01,725
I'll entertain a motion to approve.

40
00:02:02,125 --> 00:02:02,685
I don't have a copy.

41
00:02:09,235 --> 00:02:11,885
Have she got one? This bug? Yeah. Bug you one.

Eileen, do you see needs to be addressed?

45
00:05:27,265 --> 00:05:30,365
No, I don't. I would make a motion to approve the meeting,

46
00:05:30,625 --> 00:05:34,275
the meeting minutes of our last meeting on

47
00:05:34,295 --> 00:05:35,835

00:05:36,215 --> 00:05:39,475
Second, let's hear first by E Lien. Second by Mr. Matt.

00:05:44,255 --> 00:05:48,395
We have a unanimous vote and we have one abstention.

00:05:48,815 --> 00:05:52,155
Bob Sperl is abstaining. Two myself as well.

52
00:05:52,695 --> 00:05:53,915
We have two abstentions.

53
00:05:53,935 --> 00:05:56,075
So we still have five to two, five votes.

54
00:05:56,135 --> 00:06:00,645
So the motion carries two abstentions, commissioner, Sperl

55
00:06:01,185 --> 00:06:03,285
and, and Bell.

56
00:06:05,995 --> 00:06:09,245
Okay. Next order of business is

57
00:06:12,785 --> 00:06:14,565
the chair's report and correspondence.

58
00:06:14,585 --> 00:06:18,765
I'm gonna put 'em together. We're still very busy.

59
00:06:19,395 --> 00:06:22,725
Beth and I have our weekly phone call

60
00:06:24,005 --> 00:06:25,405
moving our agenda forward.

61
00:06:25,965 --> 00:06:28,605
Committee's a meeting and doing their work.

62
00:06:29,805 --> 00:06:34,085
We had a, a good meeting with Owen prior to this meeting.

63
00:06:35,105 --> 00:06:37,765
How we're integrating Dairy Cam into,

64
00:06:38,275 --> 00:06:40,045
into Dairy Conservation Commission

65
00:06:41,505 --> 00:06:43,525
and getting our information out to the public.

66
00:06:45,425 --> 00:06:47,165
So we're busy. Very busy.

67
00:06:47,265 --> 00:06:49,525
I'm gonna, I'm gonna go this kind, go through this kind

68
00:06:49,525 --> 00:06:51,525
of quickly 'cause we have a, a full agenda tonight

69
00:06:51,525 --> 00:06:53,405
and I don't wanna be here until midnight, so

70
00:06:54,745 --> 00:06:56,045
I'm gonna kind of blast through this.

71
00:06:56,135 --> 00:06:59,845
We're working, you actually have a copy of this. Yep. Mr.

72
00:07:00,035 --> 00:07:01,925
Metz, we're working on a sample letter,

73
00:07:02,165 --> 00:07:07,125
a sample solicitation letter to landowners in town

74
00:07:07,125 --> 00:07:10,605
that we're gonna be sending as we, as we find properties

75
00:07:10,915 --> 00:07:13,605
that are on our target list

76
00:07:13,825 --> 00:07:15,605
as potential conservation properties.

77
00:07:15,605 --> 00:07:18,285
So we have our sample letter, Ms. Mr.

78
00:07:18,635 --> 00:07:19,845
Metz, myself

79
00:07:20,025 --> 00:07:22,245
and Beth are gonna continue tweaking that letter

80
00:07:22,995 --> 00:07:25,605
once I think it's ready for the, for the whole commission

81
00:07:25,605 --> 00:07:26,965
to look at and chime in.

82
00:07:27,015 --> 00:07:28,525
We'll, we'll be putting it forward to them.

83
00:07:29,765 --> 00:07:33,285
In our meeting with Owen today, we're gonna use excerpts of

84
00:07:33,285 --> 00:07:35,405
that letter in social media

85
00:07:35,705 --> 00:07:38,605
and on dairy TV soliciting

86
00:07:39,655 --> 00:07:43,565
properties from people tuning into Dairy TV

87
00:07:43,905 --> 00:07:46,805
and to the numerous dairy social media sites.

88
00:07:49,135 --> 00:07:51,325
We've been asked by the Beaver Lake Watershed,

89
00:07:51,905 --> 00:07:53,525
the Beaver Lake Improvement Association,

90
00:07:53,585 --> 00:07:56,845
to participate in their watershed management plan.

91
00:07:56,845 --> 00:07:58,765
It was something that was put together in 2007

92
00:07:58,945 --> 00:08:01,445
and we're we're, they're, they're doing a new one.

93
00:08:01,445 --> 00:08:03,165
They're asked, they've asked us to get involved.

94
00:08:03,195 --> 00:08:06,565
It's a plan that they, they to do together with

95
00:08:07,565 --> 00:08:09,405
DES in the town of Derry.

96
00:08:10,175 --> 00:08:11,405
We're gonna be meeting with them

97
00:08:12,025 --> 00:08:16,725
and potentially assign a commissioner to that process.

98
00:08:17,885 --> 00:08:19,485
The initial meeting will probably be myself.

99
00:08:19,495 --> 00:08:20,885
Maybe Beth will join me.

100
00:08:21,105 --> 00:08:24,325
And then depending on what the meeting schedule

101
00:08:24,425 --> 00:08:26,725
and the workload on that will probably

102
00:08:27,945 --> 00:08:29,445
assign a commissioner to that project.

103
00:08:31,105 --> 00:08:34,805
We are working on the deed restriction for Broadview Farm

104
00:08:35,625 --> 00:08:39,925
and Beth is gonna go over that in her land manager report.

105
00:08:40,705 --> 00:08:43,845
We have our first agricultural lease land lease agreement,

106
00:08:44,245 --> 00:08:46,045
actually paper deal, at least the first one

107
00:08:46,045 --> 00:08:48,965
that we've had since I've been on the commission for 15

108
00:08:49,025 --> 00:08:50,725
or 17 years, however long it's been.

109
00:08:51,305 --> 00:08:52,885
And I have that, I'm gonna hand it to my right.

110
00:08:52,885 --> 00:08:53,965
Bob already took a look at it

111
00:08:53,965 --> 00:08:56,045
and liked it, so it's gonna go this way first.

112
00:08:56,105 --> 00:08:58,365
You can look at it. And that's for the Broadview Farm

113
00:09:01,265 --> 00:09:04,485
Meadow kind of behind between Broadview

114
00:09:04,485 --> 00:09:06,805
and I guess that's East Area Road,

115
00:09:06,805 --> 00:09:08,045
right road, east Area Road, yeah.

116
00:09:09,615 --> 00:09:10,845
South sent me a field

117
00:09:10,845 --> 00:09:15,165
and management series workshop that's gonna go to my left.

118
00:09:15,325 --> 00:09:17,005
Eileen's probably gonna tell us about that too.

119
00:09:18,305 --> 00:09:20,645
And we have a reported, alleged violation,

120
00:09:20,695 --> 00:09:24,525
63 English Range Road der that's gonna go to my left.

121
00:09:24,525 --> 00:09:26,365
That's a communication from DES.

122
00:09:28,865 --> 00:09:32,965
We have a flyer from Salt Everlasting.

123
00:09:33,235 --> 00:09:35,605
It's about, kind of talks about

124
00:09:35,605 --> 00:09:37,325
how many properties they've conserved

125
00:09:38,105 --> 00:09:39,245
and it talks about some

126
00:09:39,245 --> 00:09:40,645
of the people involved in their process.

127
00:09:41,955 --> 00:09:43,685
I've worked with, I think most of the people

128
00:09:43,685 --> 00:09:45,365
that are pictured in this.

129
00:09:47,605 --> 00:09:50,965
We've started a process checking the revenues coming into

130
00:09:50,965 --> 00:09:52,845
the commission prior to our meeting.

131
00:09:53,185 --> 00:09:56,805
And Beth meets me.

132
00:09:56,825 --> 00:09:58,925
So has a, has a, a communication

133
00:09:58,925 --> 00:10:00,245
with the dairy finance people.

134
00:10:00,735 --> 00:10:03,645
We're continuing to receive revenues from

135
00:10:04,505 --> 00:10:06,725
the numerous projects in town where the,

136
00:10:06,725 --> 00:10:08,125
where the properties are in current use

137
00:10:08,125 --> 00:10:10,525
and they're paying the current use exchange tax.

138
00:10:11,225 --> 00:10:13,605
So revenues remain fairly strong for us

139
00:10:16,355 --> 00:10:19,525
That we're gonna be using hopefully soon on the, on the two

140
00:10:19,525 --> 00:10:21,085
or three conservation properties

141
00:10:21,085 --> 00:10:23,325
that we're considering right now.

142
00:10:27,745 --> 00:10:32,685
And I believe that's all I have. Are we ready for? Yeah.

143
00:10:33,275 --> 00:10:36,205
Okay. So first order of business outside of

And basically, if you see on the second sheet of

178
00:12:30,805 --> 00:12:32,565
what we're looking at, the,

179
00:12:33,785 --> 00:12:36,325
the general site was the existing church site

180
00:12:36,325 --> 00:12:40,005
that's at 180 7 Hampstead Street and Hampstead Road.

181
00:12:40,585 --> 00:12:43,125
And that's about an eight and a half acre site.

182
00:12:44,005 --> 00:12:47,725
At the time, we were utilizing probably about a half

183
00:12:47,785 --> 00:12:50,405
of the site with an existing parking

184
00:12:50,505 --> 00:12:51,685
lot, the existing building.

185
00:12:52,425 --> 00:12:56,205
And Mr. Yco has sort of retrofitted that

186
00:12:56,225 --> 00:12:57,725
for his business purposes

187
00:12:57,725 --> 00:13:02,085
and the, in the uses that he has, which is basically a,

188
00:13:02,205 --> 00:13:04,085
a landscape supply company

189
00:13:04,585 --> 00:13:07,405
and Northeast Elite Athletics,

190
00:13:08,175 --> 00:13:09,885
which is inside the building.

191
00:13:10,105 --> 00:13:12,685
The landscape supply company is basically

192
00:13:12,715 --> 00:13:13,805
outside of the building.

193
00:13:14,825 --> 00:13:16,645
So what we're hoping to amend

194
00:13:17,345 --> 00:13:20,765
to the site plan now is a small area of upland

195
00:13:20,985 --> 00:13:23,805
that's located on the south it east corner.

196
00:13:25,235 --> 00:13:26,965
It's shown on the second sheet.

197
00:13:27,505 --> 00:13:31,245
And you can see there's a red dotted line that runs

198
00:13:31,245 --> 00:13:32,405
around the upland.

199
00:13:33,745 --> 00:13:37,605
And, and that wetland that is shown there was field located

200
00:13:37,625 --> 00:13:42,165
by Tom Sokolowski of TES Environmental.

201
00:13:43,025 --> 00:13:47,245
And what we're hoping to do is to utilize that area for

202
00:13:47,885 --> 00:13:49,685
a stock holding area.

203
00:13:49,905 --> 00:13:54,725
So he purchases nursery stock,

204
00:13:54,835 --> 00:13:57,205
he's gonna place it on that spot of land there

205
00:13:58,145 --> 00:14:01,125
and hold it as a storage area.

206
00:14:01,825 --> 00:14:04,725
So that's the general idea of what we're doing.

207
00:14:05,945 --> 00:14:08,925
The only other portion of that that needs

208
00:14:08,945 --> 00:14:11,765
to have any addition is the, is a,

209
00:14:12,565 --> 00:14:13,965
a gravel pathway

210
00:14:14,515 --> 00:14:18,885
that runs from the existing parking lot over to, to

211
00:14:18,885 --> 00:14:20,125
that upland area.

212
00:14:21,345 --> 00:14:24,765
We have shown on sheet three.

213
00:14:26,545 --> 00:14:29,845
We show a detail of a, a mulch berm

214
00:14:30,315 --> 00:14:33,525
that basically goes right around the circumference of the,

215
00:14:34,145 --> 00:14:36,765
of the entire piece of upland there

216
00:14:36,985 --> 00:14:38,725
for protection of the wetlands.

217
00:14:38,725 --> 00:14:43,645
That's an organic mulch, mulch, berm.

218
00:14:44,585 --> 00:14:46,085
So I guess

219
00:14:46,085 --> 00:14:48,445
that's a general overall view of what we're looking to do.

220
00:14:48,625 --> 00:14:51,325
So if you have questions of myself

221
00:14:51,385 --> 00:14:53,925
or Jay, we're happy to help you.

222
00:14:56,345 --> 00:15:01,215
Thank you. The, the gravel driveway

223
00:15:01,215 --> 00:15:03,855
that's, that goes over there that you, that's existing.

224
00:15:04,635 --> 00:15:07,175
That's, that's it says existing on the, on the,

225
00:15:07,405 --> 00:15:08,405
It's there now?

226
00:15:08,405 --> 00:15:11,935
Yes. It, it was not there when,

227
00:15:13,445 --> 00:15:16,495
when we had the original site plan approved back in January

228
00:15:16,835 --> 00:15:19,455
of, of oh of 25.

229
00:15:20,155 --> 00:15:24,055
But they put that in there to work, you know,

230
00:15:24,055 --> 00:15:26,255
they cut down some of the brush

231
00:15:26,255 --> 00:15:27,375
and scrub that was in there

232
00:15:28,275 --> 00:15:30,975
to see if the area was suitable to use. Right.

233
00:15:31,135 --> 00:15:32,455
O only a portion of that's there.

234
00:15:32,485 --> 00:15:34,495
Just, just off of the pavement now. Okay.

235
00:15:34,495 --> 00:15:36,135
Across that whole way. I'd have to continue that.

236
00:15:36,335 --> 00:15:37,615
I don't, I don't have it all there now.

237
00:15:37,715 --> 00:15:39,415
So what is that like, gonna be like a crushed stone?

238
00:15:39,515 --> 00:15:40,695
That's it. Just a crushed stone.

239
00:15:40,925 --> 00:15:42,615
There's not just an access path. Right. That's it.

240
00:15:42,615 --> 00:15:45,575
There's not a wetland. Is there a wetland crossing there?

241
00:15:46,265 --> 00:15:47,415
There is not, no.

242
00:15:47,475 --> 00:15:49,295
So that where it gets into the, where,

243
00:15:49,305 --> 00:15:50,775
where the wetlands come real tight.

244
00:15:50,775 --> 00:15:52,655
That was not a wetland that crossed there. That

245
00:15:52,655 --> 00:15:55,015
Was, that was not, and that was, you know, we had

246
00:15:55,015 --> 00:15:58,015
that field located by to koski

247
00:15:58,015 --> 00:16:01,335
and there was a gap between the, the wetland.

248
00:16:01,335 --> 00:16:02,415
Yeah, I can, that's probably why

249
00:16:02,415 --> 00:16:03,655
the, it's curved like that.

250
00:16:06,275 --> 00:16:07,935
You gonna be using equipment on that

251
00:16:09,225 --> 00:16:10,225
Small?

252
00:16:10,225 --> 00:16:10,775
Yes, I will. Small equipment.

253
00:16:10,775 --> 00:16:12,015
Either four forklifts, stuff like that. The, the,

254
00:16:12,015 --> 00:16:13,695
the largest piece of equipment would there be over there

255
00:16:13,695 --> 00:16:17,375
would be a, it's called an SVL 75 Kubota Skid Steer.

256
00:16:17,375 --> 00:16:18,855
Which is a track machine. Yeah.

257
00:16:18,855 --> 00:16:22,215
I the least invasive of of Right. Our equipment. Yep. So

258
00:16:22,215 --> 00:16:22,935
You're not bringing tractor

259
00:16:22,935 --> 00:16:24,095
trailers in there or anything like

260
00:16:24,095 --> 00:16:25,095
That?

261
00:16:25,095 --> 00:16:26,895
I'm not, no. No. The, the pathway is simply just

262
00:16:26,895 --> 00:16:28,255
for, for our use only.

263
00:16:28,315 --> 00:16:32,215
It would be either that or, you know, hand carts or whatnot.

264
00:16:32,475 --> 00:16:35,015
Are you storing any mechanical equipment over there?

265
00:16:35,355 --> 00:16:36,375
No. Not gonna keep

266
00:16:36,595 --> 00:16:38,535
Trucks or everything. Organic

267
00:16:38,775 --> 00:16:39,775
Forklifts or any of that stuff over there? No,

268
00:16:39,775 --> 00:16:40,775
I will not.

269
00:16:40,775 --> 00:16:42,455
I have plenty of space for that. Otherwise. Yeah,

270
00:16:42,455 --> 00:16:43,575
There's plenty. Plenty of parking.

271
00:16:43,875 --> 00:16:47,455
Plenty of parking. With it being holding stock,

272
00:16:47,475 --> 00:16:49,655
are you gonna be spraying any excess fertilizers

273
00:16:49,655 --> 00:16:50,895
or some nutrients for storage?

274
00:16:51,245 --> 00:16:52,495
Hold on one second. We don't fertilize.

275
00:16:52,495 --> 00:16:54,815
Before you answer Val, can you just either turn up your mic?

276
00:16:54,935 --> 00:16:56,735
I could barely hear you, so I'm sure that Tammy can't,

277
00:16:58,325 --> 00:17:01,255
Matt, That's gimme like a 1, 2, 3 count.

278
00:17:01,595 --> 00:17:03,895
1, 2, 3, go. Good. It's as high as I can go.

279
00:17:04,115 --> 00:17:05,935
That's good. The an,

280
00:17:05,935 --> 00:17:08,135
the short answer's no, the long answer.

281
00:17:08,135 --> 00:17:09,095
Sorry. Sorry Mr Echo,

282
00:17:09,095 --> 00:17:10,175
could you just ask the question? Oh, sorry,

283
00:17:10,265 --> 00:17:11,135
Sorry. Just, just re

284
00:17:11,235 --> 00:17:12,235
I'm excited just so you know.

285
00:17:12,235 --> 00:17:13,015
Have we have the,

286
00:17:13,015 --> 00:17:15,135
our our recording secretary is gonna do this remotely,

287
00:17:15,195 --> 00:17:16,975
so she's gonna pick it up off the TV in order

288
00:17:16,975 --> 00:17:18,615
to take the, take the minutes. Yes,

289
00:17:18,635 --> 00:17:19,635
Of course.

290
00:17:19,635 --> 00:17:23,415
Sorry Tammy, my question was, will there be any ex spraying

291
00:17:23,415 --> 00:17:26,855
of fertilizers or needed nutrients for the stock

292
00:17:26,875 --> 00:17:27,935
to be held over there?

293
00:17:29,115 --> 00:17:31,055
The short an, like I said, the short answer is no.

294
00:17:31,055 --> 00:17:34,535
The long answer is a, a re wholesale nursery, like myself,

295
00:17:34,535 --> 00:17:36,095
we're predominantly a wholesale nursery.

296
00:17:36,315 --> 00:17:38,615
We do sell to the public, but wholesaling industry, we,

297
00:17:38,635 --> 00:17:39,735
we don't fertilize anything.

298
00:17:40,275 --> 00:17:41,855
We don't do any spraying. We don't have any,

299
00:17:42,075 --> 00:17:43,255
we don't have any licenses

300
00:17:43,255 --> 00:17:44,695
for spraying in the state of New Hampshire.

301
00:17:44,695 --> 00:17:46,215
You have to be approved in a pesticide

302
00:17:46,235 --> 00:17:47,775
or to give fertilizer.

303
00:17:47,775 --> 00:17:49,925
We don't do any of that. So the answer is no.

304
00:17:51,745 --> 00:17:53,005
And I think I heard too,

305
00:17:53,185 --> 00:17:56,405
but just clarifying earlier, it sounded like the curve

306
00:17:56,405 --> 00:17:59,845
of the wetland, the spot where you had the gravel path.

307
00:17:59,905 --> 00:18:01,525
Now there was a gap between the two.

308
00:18:01,545 --> 00:18:02,605
So it's, there shouldn't be

309
00:18:02,605 --> 00:18:04,445
any, a need of filling or anything. Yeah,

310
00:18:04,445 --> 00:18:06,005
There's no filling of the wetland.

311
00:18:06,005 --> 00:18:08,765
This is just a, there is a, it loops around

312
00:18:08,865 --> 00:18:12,045
and then it actually just doesn't touch each other.

313
00:18:12,385 --> 00:18:13,765
Gotcha. Okay. Thank you.

314
00:18:15,305 --> 00:18:18,685
On the, on the berm, there's a berm,

315
00:18:19,245 --> 00:18:20,405
a berm detail here

316
00:18:20,405 --> 00:18:25,365
and there's an elaborate process for the type of berm

317
00:18:25,365 --> 00:18:29,725
that's used and a best practices

318
00:18:31,195 --> 00:18:33,045
regarding regarding rain events

319
00:18:33,385 --> 00:18:34,805
and inspections and stuff like that.

320
00:18:34,825 --> 00:18:37,325
Is all that stuff gonna be conducted by you, Mr. Yco?

321
00:18:37,425 --> 00:18:40,325
Are you outsourcing that or is that gonna be done in house?

322
00:18:40,615 --> 00:18:41,685
Thank you. Thank you Owen.

323
00:18:41,825 --> 00:18:43,085
No, that, that'll be done by us.

324
00:18:43,785 --> 00:18:46,645
We have the capabilities and the ability to do exactly that.

325
00:18:47,225 --> 00:18:49,205
Our, our nursery stock currently

326
00:18:49,205 --> 00:18:51,885
and has been for the 20 years I've been in business is all

327
00:18:52,625 --> 00:18:54,245
for no better terms called healed in.

328
00:18:54,585 --> 00:18:56,445
So you dig a small portion just

329
00:18:56,445 --> 00:18:57,565
basically so it doesn't tip over.

330
00:18:57,635 --> 00:18:59,525
Sure. You know, a tree or something like that.

331
00:18:59,665 --> 00:19:03,445
And then it's mulched in, so we already use wood chips

332
00:19:03,465 --> 00:19:07,125
or organic materials, any organic material being wood chips

333
00:19:07,125 --> 00:19:09,605
or stump grindings for all of our product anyway.

334
00:19:09,655 --> 00:19:10,965
Right. So we're kind of like,

335
00:19:11,215 --> 00:19:12,805
everything gets filtered regardless.

336
00:19:12,865 --> 00:19:15,405
That's just what we do because it's, it makes

337
00:19:15,405 --> 00:19:16,405
Sense.

338
00:19:16,405 --> 00:19:16,565
The ber the berm itself, the

339
00:19:16,645 --> 00:19:17,645
Berm will be put up by us.

340
00:19:17,675 --> 00:19:20,245
Yeah. And it'll be maintained by us, inspected by you guys.

341
00:19:20,525 --> 00:19:22,045
We already have the materials on site.

342
00:19:22,045 --> 00:19:23,565
It was suggested by TRC

343
00:19:24,165 --> 00:19:27,045
that we use the actual stump grindings 'cause they're longer

344
00:19:27,065 --> 00:19:28,285
and grainier, which we already,

345
00:19:28,685 --> 00:19:30,045
I contacted Mike Mulch company.

346
00:19:30,155 --> 00:19:33,085
They actually had it. So we already had it delivered. Yep.

347
00:19:33,085 --> 00:19:36,125
Perfect. Now memory serves me. Right.

348
00:19:36,125 --> 00:19:37,925
All those, all those plants

349
00:19:37,945 --> 00:19:40,565
and shrubs in this new storage area.

350
00:19:40,675 --> 00:19:44,325
Bald Right. For the most part,

351
00:19:44,825 --> 00:19:46,885
For the most part will be bald and burlap.

352
00:19:46,885 --> 00:19:50,005
Okay. Yes. The things that might not be bald and burlap

353
00:19:50,025 --> 00:19:52,765
or the only things that I would choose to not be bald

354
00:19:52,765 --> 00:19:54,365
and burlap in there would be something that,

355
00:19:54,395 --> 00:19:57,685
that shade life loving rend.

356
00:19:58,065 --> 00:20:00,605
Yep. Azalea something to that effect.

357
00:20:00,605 --> 00:20:02,805
Because we fully intend on keeping

358
00:20:02,805 --> 00:20:04,285
that canopy. I'm not, I'm not cutting.

359
00:20:04,785 --> 00:20:06,645
And and val to your your point,

360
00:20:07,155 --> 00:20:08,605
they don't add any fertilizers,

361
00:20:08,625 --> 00:20:11,685
but those balls do contain fertilized soil.

362
00:20:11,785 --> 00:20:13,045
Yes. No. So the root

363
00:20:13,055 --> 00:20:17,325
Balls of trees do not generally contain fertilizers.

364
00:20:17,385 --> 00:20:19,645
The fertilizers that the root balls come in,

365
00:20:19,865 --> 00:20:22,445
in field grow material are done over a course

366
00:20:22,445 --> 00:20:24,045
of time at the growing nurseries.

367
00:20:25,065 --> 00:20:27,525
And then when, by the time they dig them,

368
00:20:27,715 --> 00:20:29,925
there's no fertilizer left in those trees.

369
00:20:29,925 --> 00:20:32,605
Okay. Right. The containerized materials do have a slow

370
00:20:32,605 --> 00:20:33,765
release tablet in there.

371
00:20:34,835 --> 00:20:37,765
It's only done if you, again, you're, you're dating back,

372
00:20:37,765 --> 00:20:39,445
your memory's a little bit better than mine.

373
00:20:39,485 --> 00:20:41,925
I had to go back and review. They use Yeah, of course.

374
00:20:42,555 --> 00:20:45,725
They use a slow re slow release pellets in the

375
00:20:45,725 --> 00:20:46,765
containerized materials.

376
00:20:46,765 --> 00:20:47,885
Think of it like a BB

377
00:20:49,625 --> 00:20:51,685
and that that is done

378
00:20:51,795 --> 00:20:54,565
that only releases when the plant is in the ground

379
00:20:54,705 --> 00:20:56,525
for more than 14 days.

380
00:20:56,525 --> 00:20:59,165
And the temperature of the soil is 70 degrees or greater.

381
00:20:59,545 --> 00:21:01,605
So it never releases in, in my nursery.

382
00:21:01,605 --> 00:21:04,085
It's only once it's given to the given implant.

383
00:21:06,675 --> 00:21:07,795
I just wanted to follow up on that

384
00:21:07,955 --> 00:21:09,755
'cause I know you talked about that during, during

385
00:21:09,915 --> 00:21:10,915
T Yes, we did.

386
00:21:10,915 --> 00:21:11,515
Thank you.

387
00:21:12,695 --> 00:21:14,755
Any other comments or questions from the commission?

388
00:21:15,065 --> 00:21:18,915
Yeah, I do. That proposed tree

389
00:21:18,935 --> 00:21:22,235
and shrub storage area, was that never a wetland

390
00:21:22,235 --> 00:21:24,395
or was that a previously filled wetland?

391
00:21:24,635 --> 00:21:27,315
'cause it just seems like an odd kind of an odd shape,

392
00:21:28,655 --> 00:21:30,675
you know, where there's wetlands all around.

393
00:21:30,675 --> 00:21:32,395
You don't believe so, which just seems kind of very odd

394
00:21:32,395 --> 00:21:35,555
that it would just not, not be originally a wetland.

395
00:21:35,655 --> 00:21:38,475
Do you know whether that might have been previously filled

396
00:21:38,695 --> 00:21:40,515
by the church or, I,

397
00:21:40,595 --> 00:21:43,155
I, I can't imagine it was previously filled by the church.

398
00:21:43,375 --> 00:21:45,435
It doesn't appear to, I mean, there's trees on it.

399
00:21:45,435 --> 00:21:46,635
It just seems like an awful, there's tree on it.

400
00:21:46,635 --> 00:21:48,195
They're hundred years old. I know that

401
00:21:48,695 --> 00:21:50,435
To have not been, you know, it seems like

402
00:21:50,435 --> 00:21:52,555
that would've been a continuous wetland at one time.

403
00:21:53,655 --> 00:21:55,195
It was a wooded area, right? Wasn't it? It it,

404
00:21:55,335 --> 00:21:56,335
Oh, it's a wooded area.

405
00:21:56,335 --> 00:21:57,595
Yeah, I mean there's trees on it that are

406
00:21:58,415 --> 00:22:00,195
The old site plan for years.

407
00:22:00,195 --> 00:22:03,075
Church, the original site plan I think was 19.

408
00:22:04,015 --> 00:22:06,235
Oh, I'm gonna say 99. Was it 99?

409
00:22:06,575 --> 00:22:10,915
It, it shows exactly the wetland I'll say. I'd say exactly.

410
00:22:11,775 --> 00:22:13,315
It shows just like what you see up there.

411
00:22:13,335 --> 00:22:14,595
It shows it as upland Really.

412
00:22:14,695 --> 00:22:16,235
It does, yes. Yeah. Huh.

413
00:22:16,585 --> 00:22:18,675
Yeah, I know we did the site walk that was a forest,

414
00:22:18,675 --> 00:22:21,835
that area island that was like, like mature tree growth.

415
00:22:22,655 --> 00:22:24,395
Oh yeah. There's trees in there that are wrong. Well,

416
00:22:25,705 --> 00:22:26,705
Okay.

417
00:22:26,705 --> 00:22:27,635
I I just, I don't know.

418
00:22:28,095 --> 00:22:29,315
You could tell by the soil it's

419
00:22:29,315 --> 00:22:30,915
A higher elevation by bit. Yeah. When you,

420
00:22:31,455 --> 00:22:33,515
You can tell by the soil when you're walking out there

421
00:22:33,515 --> 00:22:35,635
that it's the elevation's up and it's

422
00:22:36,025 --> 00:22:38,035
It's like a domed area kind of. Yeah.

423
00:22:38,625 --> 00:22:41,155
Yeah. It's a, it maybe it doesn't look it on the plan,

424
00:22:41,175 --> 00:22:42,235
but it's, it's a big area.

425
00:22:42,575 --> 00:22:43,755
You can see the contours

426
00:22:43,755 --> 00:22:45,635
that show this sheet that we're looking at.

427
00:22:45,825 --> 00:22:46,795
Yeah, I see the contours, But

428
00:22:46,865 --> 00:22:48,075
it's eight feet higher. Yeah.

429
00:22:48,075 --> 00:22:50,835
Yeah. I I just wondered whether it was original that way

430
00:22:50,895 --> 00:22:51,955
or whether it was built up.

431
00:22:52,015 --> 00:22:55,955
That's all. It just, just seems like an awfully odd kind

432
00:22:55,955 --> 00:22:57,075
of configuration, but,

433
00:22:58,585 --> 00:22:59,585
Okay.

434
00:22:59,585 --> 00:23:01,475
Thanks Eileen. Any any, any, go ahead, Bob. Yeah,

435
00:23:01,835 --> 00:23:04,355
I, and I may have missed it if somebody already asked it

436
00:23:04,375 --> 00:23:07,755
of the gravel path that you have going to, it

437
00:23:08,305 --> 00:23:10,235
crosses a little bit of wetland.

438
00:23:10,735 --> 00:23:13,315
Is that gonna have a culvert under it for water passage

439
00:23:13,535 --> 00:23:14,635
or just, I'd

440
00:23:14,635 --> 00:23:15,635
Let you Know.

441
00:23:15,635 --> 00:23:18,635
It it, it does not, it that's the natural state right now.

442
00:23:19,295 --> 00:23:20,715
And I, I'm not sure.

443
00:23:20,895 --> 00:23:23,955
It sounded like you said it

444
00:23:25,345 --> 00:23:26,355
over the wetland.

445
00:23:26,745 --> 00:23:29,115
It's not over the wetland. It's between the wetland.

446
00:23:29,255 --> 00:23:31,235
So, okay. The wetland doesn't come through.

447
00:23:31,235 --> 00:23:33,035
It's just naturally that way that that's what

448
00:23:33,035 --> 00:23:34,035
Was Okay.

449
00:23:34,495 --> 00:23:35,915
But can water, that's a good question, Bob. Let's

450
00:23:35,915 --> 00:23:37,635
Can water come through that?

451
00:23:37,785 --> 00:23:39,795
Like I think that's what Bob's questioning is.

452
00:23:39,895 --> 00:23:42,195
No, like you've got, you've got wetland here

453
00:23:42,415 --> 00:23:44,315
and you have wetland on the other side of the path.

454
00:23:44,625 --> 00:23:48,605
Sure. Does water go underneath that gravel path in any way?

455
00:23:49,025 --> 00:23:51,645
No. And was it once connected, you know? No.

456
00:23:51,745 --> 00:23:53,205
Before the gravel path went

457
00:23:53,205 --> 00:23:54,205
In, does do that.

458
00:23:54,205 --> 00:23:56,165
Water goes around the other side.

459
00:23:56,225 --> 00:23:57,925
You can see the blue lines on this

460
00:23:57,925 --> 00:23:59,205
sheet that we're looking at.

461
00:24:00,505 --> 00:24:03,525
Any water that's on one side goes to the other

462
00:24:03,625 --> 00:24:05,165
and that's the way it fills in.

463
00:24:05,165 --> 00:24:06,485
Just around the topography.

464
00:24:09,845 --> 00:24:12,325
I just don't, yeah, I don't see how it gets there.

465
00:24:12,445 --> 00:24:15,525
I guess it, it's coming down wet one's coming down here.

466
00:24:15,825 --> 00:24:17,845
It looks, looks like the gravel path. Bisects.

467
00:24:18,125 --> 00:24:19,645
I can two ends of the wetland.

468
00:24:24,635 --> 00:24:25,285
Like there's a

469
00:24:25,445 --> 00:24:26,445
Crossing there.

470
00:24:26,445 --> 00:24:27,125
So any, any water that's in here

471
00:24:27,865 --> 00:24:29,125
can travel right through here.

472
00:24:30,465 --> 00:24:33,525
Or actually water that's here can travel down through here.

473
00:24:33,525 --> 00:24:34,725
It's out there. So the water,

474
00:24:35,745 --> 00:24:37,005
But what about here, Back around,

475
00:24:37,025 --> 00:24:38,125
you had it right the first travel?

476
00:24:38,955 --> 00:24:41,365
Yeah. Almost like the gravel path is a dam.

477
00:24:41,625 --> 00:24:42,645
Is that what it

478
00:24:42,885 --> 00:24:45,005
I, You know, is it acting as a dam? Sure.

479
00:24:45,405 --> 00:24:46,765
I, I'll agree with those terms.

480
00:24:47,005 --> 00:24:48,645
I guess for the purposes of what we're talking about,

481
00:24:48,645 --> 00:24:50,085
there's a, it's just a little

482
00:24:51,745 --> 00:24:52,745
Old feet Or something.

483
00:24:52,805 --> 00:24:57,365
A natural. Yeah, it's about 12 or 15 feet wide. Little berm.

484
00:24:57,985 --> 00:25:01,295
Huh? Just like, just like a lot of things.

485
00:25:01,415 --> 00:25:03,855
I mean if you, if you walk through the woodland anywhere,

486
00:25:03,855 --> 00:25:07,015
there's a lot of places where, you know, pond stop

487
00:25:07,035 --> 00:25:08,575
and they loop around and Well

488
00:25:08,575 --> 00:25:09,575
You said that's just what it does.

489
00:25:09,645 --> 00:25:10,975
Well you said previously though, that

490
00:25:10,975 --> 00:25:13,015
that gravel path wasn't previously there.

491
00:25:13,115 --> 00:25:15,055
The last time you came before us. It it's

492
00:25:15,055 --> 00:25:16,215
Not, it's currently not.

493
00:25:16,395 --> 00:25:17,575
It, it's, I'm wonder

494
00:25:17,575 --> 00:25:19,295
Beginning of it, it's wonder like when you came before us

495
00:25:19,355 --> 00:25:21,255
before, what did that area look like?

496
00:25:21,515 --> 00:25:24,535
Was it the same as now was well connected? In other words?

497
00:25:24,795 --> 00:25:26,495
It it was connected, huh?

498
00:25:26,725 --> 00:25:28,455
It's the exact same shape

499
00:25:28,455 --> 00:25:30,655
and configuration as it always has been.

500
00:25:31,445 --> 00:25:32,815
Okay. And that includes back

501
00:25:32,815 --> 00:25:33,855
to when the church was built.

502
00:25:34,805 --> 00:25:36,415
Okay. No, I think we can go

503
00:25:36,415 --> 00:25:37,535
stewardship on that one too.

504
00:25:39,685 --> 00:25:40,255
Cool. Concept

505
00:26:15,155 --> 00:26:16,005
commissioners.

506
00:26:16,005 --> 00:26:17,525
Does anyone have any que any other questions

507
00:26:17,525 --> 00:26:19,045
regarding the the plan? Yeah,

508
00:26:19,045 --> 00:26:22,205
I have one more question regarding the drainage

509
00:26:22,225 --> 00:26:24,445
that's shown here in the parking lot.

510
00:26:25,145 --> 00:26:27,005
Was that previously there there's a pipe

511
00:26:27,005 --> 00:26:28,205
that goes out to the wetland.

512
00:26:29,025 --> 00:26:31,805
It doesn't sh doesn't say what size pipe that is,

513
00:26:31,945 --> 00:26:35,525
but a pipe that discharges into the wetland.

514
00:26:36,545 --> 00:26:39,125
All, all the drainage discharge that's on this drainage

515
00:26:40,065 --> 00:26:42,045
It, oh, go on This plan.

516
00:26:42,395 --> 00:26:43,395
It's sheet number.

517
00:26:45,155 --> 00:26:46,565
What is this? You've Got two of

518
00:26:46,565 --> 00:26:47,565
Three sheet.

519
00:26:47,565 --> 00:26:51,085
Two of three. It shows a, a culvert pipe going out.

520
00:26:52,945 --> 00:26:55,365
The, I believe you're talking about this area right here.

521
00:26:55,385 --> 00:26:56,845
Yes. Right. Was that always there?

522
00:26:57,115 --> 00:27:01,085
That was, well, it, it was installed when

523
00:27:01,085 --> 00:27:02,245
the church was constructed.

524
00:27:02,475 --> 00:27:04,445
Okay. So, so that's always been there. Guess.

525
00:27:04,475 --> 00:27:06,485
Okay. I just, just, that was my question, whether

526
00:27:06,485 --> 00:27:08,285
that's something new or that was always there.

527
00:27:08,555 --> 00:27:09,555
Okay. Thank you.

528
00:27:15,145 --> 00:27:16,645
Any other questions or comments from the commission?

529
00:27:21,345 --> 00:27:22,405
Seeing none, Mr.

530
00:27:22,515 --> 00:27:25,045
Meisner, what is the protocol that you need this commission

531
00:27:25,045 --> 00:27:26,645
to, to accomplish for you

532
00:27:26,645 --> 00:27:27,645
This evening?

533
00:27:27,645 --> 00:27:28,765
So what we're here

534
00:27:28,865 --> 00:27:32,205
for is hopefully a positive recommendation for you to send

535
00:27:32,205 --> 00:27:34,205
to the planning board that,

536
00:27:34,275 --> 00:27:38,085
that this board recommends approval from them

537
00:27:38,785 --> 00:27:40,365
of the plan as we've shown it.

538
00:27:42,025 --> 00:27:43,765
So recommending approval would be

539
00:27:43,965 --> 00:27:45,085
something that we don't normally

540
00:27:45,085 --> 00:27:49,925
do. So I would to take

541
00:27:50,045 --> 00:27:51,085
A, maybe a better term would be

542
00:27:51,085 --> 00:27:53,045
acceptance for this board, right?

543
00:27:53,155 --> 00:27:57,085
Yeah. So our, our motions need

544
00:27:57,125 --> 00:27:58,805
to be made in the affirmative.

545
00:27:59,865 --> 00:28:02,685
So I think what the, what the petitioner is looking for is

546
00:28:02,685 --> 00:28:04,725
that we do not object to anything on the plan.

547
00:28:06,185 --> 00:28:08,605
So it would be, I would entertain a motion

548
00:28:10,755 --> 00:28:11,965
that sounded something like that.

549
00:28:12,005 --> 00:28:15,885
I think that would satisfy the applicant moving forward.

550
00:28:18,465 --> 00:28:19,725
If, if there's a commissioner

551
00:28:19,725 --> 00:28:20,765
that's willing to make that motion

552
00:28:22,395 --> 00:28:27,005
Move to accept and approve the plan revisions presented

553
00:28:27,025 --> 00:28:29,445
for 180 7 Hampstead Road, dairy New Hampshire

554
00:28:29,445 --> 00:28:30,445
by Bird Enterprises.

555
00:28:30,485 --> 00:28:31,485
LLC.

556
00:28:32,785 --> 00:28:34,605
Second. I'll second that. Can

557
00:28:34,765 --> 00:28:35,805
I make a friendly amendment, Mr.

558
00:28:35,985 --> 00:28:40,125
Mr. Metz? Sure. Because we're not gonna sign this plan.

559
00:28:40,215 --> 00:28:41,405
We're not really approving it. Yeah.

560
00:28:41,405 --> 00:28:42,725
We're not gonna accept it or approve it.

561
00:28:42,725 --> 00:28:44,485
It may be something to the nature of

562
00:28:44,715 --> 00:28:46,205
that we don't have objection

563
00:28:46,205 --> 00:28:49,205
to anything happening in the revised site plan review.

564
00:28:51,105 --> 00:28:52,635
Okay, I'll restate it then.

565
00:28:53,435 --> 00:28:55,995
Conservation Commission has no objections

566
00:28:56,055 --> 00:29:00,075
to the revised plan presented for 180 7 Hampstead Road.

567
00:29:00,215 --> 00:29:01,395
Map 10, law number 12.

568
00:29:03,145 --> 00:29:05,635
There's a first by Mr. Metz. Second.

569
00:29:05,825 --> 00:29:07,955
There's a second. First and second on the floor.

570
00:29:07,955 --> 00:29:12,795
Those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? Abstentions.

571
00:29:13,225 --> 00:29:14,835
Unanimous. Motion carries. Thanks guys.

572
00:29:15,125 --> 00:29:17,275
Thank you very much folks. Thank you. You have a good

573
00:29:17,275 --> 00:29:18,275
Night.

574
00:29:18,275 --> 00:29:20,395
You too. I'm gonna give you these full set back

575
00:29:20,825 --> 00:29:22,315
because these are really our,

576
00:29:22,415 --> 00:29:24,395
our land manager did such a great job on these,

577
00:29:24,395 --> 00:29:25,835
this satisfy,

578
00:29:37,815 --> 00:29:38,515
You don't need this

579
00:30:07,385 --> 00:30:11,045
No, right here.

580
00:30:12,265 --> 00:30:15,925
Oh, Oh, for the,

581
00:30:17,475 --> 00:30:18,475
Okay.

582
00:30:18,475 --> 00:30:19,325
Good work on that site plan.

583
00:30:19,325 --> 00:30:20,405
I review Our next order

584
00:30:20,405 --> 00:30:24,845
of business is our i naturalist training with Steven Lamond

585
00:30:25,355 --> 00:30:27,525
from Moose Wood Ecological.

586
00:30:27,785 --> 00:30:31,005
And I think Owen is getting him, getting him queued up,

587
00:30:36,345 --> 00:30:37,345
Huh?

588
00:30:42,075 --> 00:30:44,805
Yeah, that's why I bought that. Somebody made this.

589
00:30:45,915 --> 00:30:48,045
It's nice. Yeah. It's got a little gross

590
00:30:48,105 --> 00:30:49,205
on your credit cards.

591
00:30:49,475 --> 00:30:53,285
Yeah, that's a

592
00:30:53,285 --> 00:30:56,005
whistle for what?

593
00:30:56,795 --> 00:31:01,725
Well, maybe, oh no, it's not this one.

594
00:31:01,915 --> 00:31:06,525
Wish it was. That's a safety whistle for me.

595
00:31:10,195 --> 00:31:13,565
Okay. It's in case you're out and about by yourself.

596
00:31:13,675 --> 00:31:14,675
It's very good.

597
00:31:17,615 --> 00:31:18,965
Hello everyone. Can you hear me?

598
00:31:19,655 --> 00:31:21,645
There he is. There he is. Who's that guy?

599
00:31:22,615 --> 00:31:26,445
Hello everyone. Well, he was there beside for a second.

600
00:31:33,245 --> 00:31:34,935
Besting time testing. There

601
00:31:34,935 --> 00:31:35,935
You are.

602
00:31:35,935 --> 00:31:36,775
Gotcha. Hey Steven.

603
00:31:37,075 --> 00:31:38,615
All righty. Hey everyone.

604
00:31:39,995 --> 00:31:42,855
I'm currently seeing two of myself, so let me

605
00:31:44,365 --> 00:31:45,775
make this a little less distracting.

606
00:31:45,775 --> 00:31:46,135
One second.

607
00:31:53,585 --> 00:31:55,055
Great. Good evening all.

608
00:31:55,055 --> 00:31:57,295
Thank you so much for making time on your agenda

609
00:31:58,155 --> 00:32:00,335
for this evening's iNaturalist training.

610
00:32:01,975 --> 00:32:04,055
I imagine most of you all know at this point

611
00:32:04,085 --> 00:32:07,615
that it we'll be hosting a BioBlitz at the Broadview Farm

612
00:32:07,635 --> 00:32:08,975
on June 27th.

613
00:32:09,995 --> 00:32:11,415
So just a couple weeks from now.

614
00:32:12,275 --> 00:32:14,815
So the goal for tonight is to me, for me

615
00:32:14,815 --> 00:32:18,415
to share a presentation with you all about iNaturalist,

616
00:32:18,835 --> 00:32:21,295
why it's important, how we're using it for the BioBlitz,

617
00:32:22,035 --> 00:32:24,335
and giving you all a, a quick primer on how

618
00:32:24,335 --> 00:32:26,735
to use iNaturalist come BioBlitz day,

619
00:32:26,735 --> 00:32:29,015
but also throughout the year.

620
00:32:29,815 --> 00:32:31,895
Does anyone have any questions before I dive in?

621
00:32:32,765 --> 00:32:37,655
No. All righty. I should be able to share my screen.

622
00:32:46,595 --> 00:32:47,765
Okay. Can you all see this?

623
00:32:48,665 --> 00:32:50,805
Yep. Great.

624
00:32:53,945 --> 00:32:56,925
So tonight I'll be talking about iNaturalist primarily.

625
00:32:57,885 --> 00:32:59,125
I can't see you all at the moment,

626
00:32:59,305 --> 00:33:01,165
but for your own sake, quick show of hands,

627
00:33:01,425 --> 00:33:04,725
who here has heard of or used iNaturalist before?

628
00:33:07,175 --> 00:33:11,405
Three hands. Alright, thank you. Great.

629
00:33:11,465 --> 00:33:13,885
So I'm, I'm really excited to be here tonight

630
00:33:15,105 --> 00:33:17,805
and for the three of you who have used

631
00:33:17,805 --> 00:33:21,365
or heard of iNaturalist before, feel free to chip in

632
00:33:21,365 --> 00:33:23,925
with any follow up questions over the course

633
00:33:23,925 --> 00:33:25,965
of this next month as we prepare for the BioBlitz.

634
00:33:29,915 --> 00:33:31,365
Okay. So just,

635
00:33:31,505 --> 00:33:33,805
I'm gonna give you a broad sense of biodiversity.

636
00:33:34,945 --> 00:33:37,245
We think of it as all the species on

637
00:33:37,245 --> 00:33:38,405
earth, but it's really more than that.

638
00:33:38,555 --> 00:33:43,085
It's all the genetic things that are present at

639
00:33:43,085 --> 00:33:45,525
that scale in addition to species as well

640
00:33:45,525 --> 00:33:46,725
as whole ecosystems.

641
00:33:46,985 --> 00:33:48,965
And so the town of dairy comprises of a lot

642
00:33:48,965 --> 00:33:52,325
of Appalachian oak forest as well as some hemlock hardwood,

643
00:33:52,355 --> 00:33:53,885
pine, lots of different kinds

644
00:33:53,885 --> 00:33:55,325
of wetlands and aquatic systems.

645
00:33:55,665 --> 00:33:57,925
And these all come together to form the foundation

646
00:33:58,225 --> 00:33:59,805
of the town's biodiversity.

647
00:34:01,745 --> 00:34:04,405
We value biodiversity for a lot of different reasons.

648
00:34:05,505 --> 00:34:07,285
We might not think of it on a day-to-day basis

649
00:34:07,285 --> 00:34:09,325
unless you're someone like me who's working in the

650
00:34:09,325 --> 00:34:10,485
environmental world all the time.

651
00:34:11,345 --> 00:34:13,245
But it maintains our air quality.

652
00:34:14,065 --> 00:34:16,005
It, it, it mitigates climate change.

653
00:34:16,115 --> 00:34:18,565
Hazards helps control water runoff.

654
00:34:18,865 --> 00:34:21,085
We value it from a recreational standpoint.

655
00:34:21,145 --> 00:34:22,485
We depend on it for food,

656
00:34:23,365 --> 00:34:25,125
for clean water and, and so much more.

657
00:34:27,335 --> 00:34:28,335
Sorry, is there a question?

658
00:34:30,045 --> 00:34:32,095
Nope, go ahead. Okay, sorry.

659
00:34:33,155 --> 00:34:35,015
And so there's all these benefits to it

660
00:34:35,155 --> 00:34:37,615
and the Broadview farm plays a large part

661
00:34:37,675 --> 00:34:39,455
of supporting the town's biodiversity.

662
00:34:42,605 --> 00:34:45,095
Unfortunately, we're in this environmental crisis

663
00:34:45,185 --> 00:34:46,815
where over the next century,

664
00:34:47,335 --> 00:34:49,855
a million species face the threat of extinction.

665
00:34:50,875 --> 00:34:54,175
And by do hosting this BioBlitz at the Broadview farm,

666
00:34:54,695 --> 00:34:55,775
we can better get a sense

667
00:34:55,795 --> 00:34:57,855
of which species are present in dairy

668
00:34:58,235 --> 00:35:00,015
and hopefully work to conserve them

669
00:35:00,115 --> 00:35:02,415
and preserve their presence on the landscape.

670
00:35:02,475 --> 00:35:03,935
Or in order to do that, we need people

671
00:35:03,935 --> 00:35:05,095
to show up to the BioBlitz.

672
00:35:05,095 --> 00:35:06,895
We need the Conservation commission

673
00:35:06,895 --> 00:35:08,175
to keep doing their good work

674
00:35:08,915 --> 00:35:10,055
and spreading the word about

675
00:35:10,055 --> 00:35:11,695
biodiversity and why it's important.

676
00:35:14,895 --> 00:35:16,595
So in order to do this, we need more people

677
00:35:17,215 --> 00:35:19,635
caring about nature and getting out to more places

678
00:35:20,015 --> 00:35:23,555
and finding more species as we know it.

679
00:35:23,615 --> 00:35:27,235
So far in New Hampshire, there's maybe 15,000 species

680
00:35:27,695 --> 00:35:30,235
of plants and wildlife that have been documented,

681
00:35:30,295 --> 00:35:32,675
but there's so much more out there that we just don't know.

682
00:35:33,095 --> 00:35:35,915
And so one of the great reasons to host a BioBlitz is

683
00:35:35,915 --> 00:35:37,925
to walk slowly even through a familiar place

684
00:35:37,985 --> 00:35:39,285
and find new species

685
00:35:39,355 --> 00:35:41,725
that hadn't been previously known either from that area,

686
00:35:42,445 --> 00:35:43,725
from the town, from the county,

687
00:35:43,785 --> 00:35:45,045
or even the state of New Hampshire.

688
00:35:45,395 --> 00:35:48,365
It's not uncommon that we find new species not previously

689
00:35:48,365 --> 00:35:50,845
known from New Hampshire during these kinds of events.

690
00:35:52,455 --> 00:35:54,235
So this is where iNaturalist comes in.

691
00:35:54,675 --> 00:35:56,595
It was founded in the mid two thousands

692
00:35:56,815 --> 00:35:58,195
and it's one of the largest

693
00:35:58,235 --> 00:36:00,515
biodiversity databases out there.

694
00:36:00,935 --> 00:36:03,835
And it makes it really easy for average people

695
00:36:03,895 --> 00:36:07,515
to participate and share their observations of nature

696
00:36:08,625 --> 00:36:10,875
with others, with scientists, with conservationists,

697
00:36:11,395 --> 00:36:13,755
with researchers to better preserve

698
00:36:13,755 --> 00:36:15,355
and understand our biodiversity.

699
00:36:16,295 --> 00:36:19,435
So there's an app version which is incredibly user

700
00:36:19,675 --> 00:36:21,155
friendly and it's free.

701
00:36:21,185 --> 00:36:24,475
They have it both for iOS and Android versions.

702
00:36:24,475 --> 00:36:26,715
There's also a website where you can dive into the data

703
00:36:26,815 --> 00:36:29,915
and explore it a bit more, but it's incredibly engaging.

704
00:36:30,655 --> 00:36:33,195
And all you need is a smartphone or an iPad

705
00:36:33,195 --> 00:36:35,075
or a camera where you can go out

706
00:36:35,075 --> 00:36:37,155
and take a picture of something you're seeing,

707
00:36:37,175 --> 00:36:39,435
you don't even have to know what it is, submit it

708
00:36:39,435 --> 00:36:42,155
to the platform and other iNaturalist users will come along

709
00:36:42,455 --> 00:36:44,035
and help validate, confirm

710
00:36:44,055 --> 00:36:45,875
or correct the initial identification.

711
00:36:47,695 --> 00:36:51,355
And this platform is widely used by, by scientists.

712
00:36:51,355 --> 00:36:54,235
Over a thousand academic papers were published using an

713
00:36:54,235 --> 00:36:56,235
naturalist data in 2024 alone.

714
00:36:57,115 --> 00:36:59,635
And so we might not always know when our observations are

715
00:36:59,635 --> 00:37:01,835
used by others to promote conservation

716
00:37:01,855 --> 00:37:03,315
and biodiversity preservation,

717
00:37:03,935 --> 00:37:05,595
but it is and it's really valuable.

718
00:37:07,335 --> 00:37:08,875
So here's how it works.

719
00:37:09,855 --> 00:37:11,355
If you want to take notes, feel free.

720
00:37:11,375 --> 00:37:14,475
But there's lots of great online training materials as well

721
00:37:14,475 --> 00:37:15,475
for you to brush up on,

722
00:37:16,095 --> 00:37:17,955
on your own time prior to the BioBlitz.

723
00:37:18,175 --> 00:37:20,635
And then I'll be there in person all day Saturday

724
00:37:20,855 --> 00:37:23,035
to answer any questions you may have in person.

725
00:37:23,715 --> 00:37:25,635
But ideally you all will have some time to get out

726
00:37:25,635 --> 00:37:27,755
of practice prior to the event.

727
00:37:29,015 --> 00:37:32,075
So step one is to download the app, create an account

728
00:37:32,135 --> 00:37:34,995
and log in and then go out and take a photo.

729
00:37:35,255 --> 00:37:37,915
You can either take a photo through the app

730
00:37:38,455 --> 00:37:41,555
or you could go through your phone's photo library

731
00:37:41,775 --> 00:37:45,275
and upload photos that you've already taken after the fact.

732
00:37:45,835 --> 00:37:46,835
This is one of the first things

733
00:37:46,835 --> 00:37:49,555
that I did when I learned about unnatural, is I went back

734
00:37:49,555 --> 00:37:51,955
through years of historic photos to figure out

735
00:37:51,955 --> 00:37:55,595
what I actually saw back in 2000 or or 1995.

736
00:37:56,295 --> 00:37:58,795
And so if you're using a regular camera, similar,

737
00:37:58,975 --> 00:38:00,995
you just upload your photos through the website.

738
00:38:01,395 --> 00:38:02,995
That's preferred for a lot of photographers

739
00:38:03,435 --> 00:38:04,875
who have nice cameras and like

740
00:38:04,875 --> 00:38:07,595
to take better pictures than a phone might.

741
00:38:08,175 --> 00:38:09,955
And then new as of just a couple years ago,

742
00:38:09,955 --> 00:38:11,315
you can also record sound.

743
00:38:11,705 --> 00:38:14,955
This makes it a lot easier to document birds as well

744
00:38:14,955 --> 00:38:17,955
as singing amphibians where they might go quiet

745
00:38:18,015 --> 00:38:20,355
or fly away if you try to get close enough for a photo,

746
00:38:20,355 --> 00:38:21,355
especially with your phone.

747
00:38:22,075 --> 00:38:25,315
So once you've gathered that evidence of the organism,

748
00:38:26,095 --> 00:38:27,995
you then submit it through the app

749
00:38:28,215 --> 00:38:31,315
or the website through the newer version of the app.

750
00:38:31,365 --> 00:38:35,605
It'll, it has a built-in AI that goes through your image

751
00:38:35,625 --> 00:38:37,765
and accounts for the time of year and the year

752
00:38:37,865 --> 00:38:39,645
and the location of the observation.

753
00:38:40,065 --> 00:38:44,045
And it gives top recommendations for what it is

754
00:38:44,155 --> 00:38:45,405
that you probably saw.

755
00:38:46,045 --> 00:38:48,245
If you agree with it, go ahead and click save.

756
00:38:48,245 --> 00:38:50,725
If you're not so sure, you could always identify it at a

757
00:38:50,725 --> 00:38:52,005
higher taxonomic level.

758
00:38:52,805 --> 00:38:55,405
So this white daisy tidy tips is a

759
00:38:55,405 --> 00:38:56,845
plant not found in our area.

760
00:38:56,955 --> 00:38:58,405
It's more in a west,

761
00:38:58,965 --> 00:38:59,965
but we do have plenty of western

762
00:39:00,075 --> 00:39:01,605
honeybees pictured here on the left.

763
00:39:02,825 --> 00:39:05,325
And so if you're not sure, that's fine,

764
00:39:05,325 --> 00:39:07,765
just add a comment like, oh, tentative ID

765
00:39:07,765 --> 00:39:09,245
or not a hundred percent sure about this,

766
00:39:09,345 --> 00:39:11,765
or this is what I not suggested, I'm just going with it.

767
00:39:11,985 --> 00:39:13,725
That's all fine. The goal is

768
00:39:13,725 --> 00:39:16,085
to get the observation submitted with some sort

769
00:39:16,085 --> 00:39:18,805
of identification and then others can come along and,

770
00:39:18,805 --> 00:39:20,325
and correct or or verify.

771
00:39:22,505 --> 00:39:25,325
And then once it's been posted to iNaturalist,

772
00:39:25,395 --> 00:39:26,925
it's now publicly accessible

773
00:39:27,705 --> 00:39:30,645
and others can, can view this for their research

774
00:39:30,705 --> 00:39:33,085
or conservation needs and so on.

775
00:39:35,755 --> 00:39:37,485
Alright, so I'm gonna share with you a,

776
00:39:37,565 --> 00:39:40,525
a short 92nd video on some tips for how

777
00:39:40,545 --> 00:39:41,605
to make an observation.

778
00:39:42,165 --> 00:39:44,525
I will note that iNaturalist made this video

779
00:39:45,285 --> 00:39:47,365
using an older version of the app,

780
00:39:48,385 --> 00:39:50,325
but the, the concepts still apply.

781
00:39:50,325 --> 00:39:53,965
And so if you have downloaded the, the the new version

782
00:39:53,985 --> 00:39:56,285
of the app, your screen may look a little different,

783
00:39:56,705 --> 00:39:58,245
but you'll still be able to follow the steps.

784
00:40:03,085 --> 00:40:04,375
Okay, so you've installed the

785
00:40:04,375 --> 00:40:05,775
iNaturalist app and create an account.

786
00:40:06,245 --> 00:40:08,495
Time to get outside and record your first observation.

787
00:40:08,875 --> 00:40:13,815
Here's how to do it. Any living thing like

788
00:40:13,855 --> 00:40:15,455
a plant animal or fungus can be an

789
00:40:15,455 --> 00:40:16,655
observation, a iNaturalist.

790
00:40:23,525 --> 00:40:25,695
Once you find something you'd like to record, just tap,

791
00:40:25,695 --> 00:40:27,095
observe and take a photo.

792
00:40:28,715 --> 00:40:30,775
You can review your picture, then hit next.

793
00:40:30,795 --> 00:40:35,695
If it looks good to identify

794
00:40:35,695 --> 00:40:36,735
it hit what did you see?

795
00:40:37,155 --> 00:40:38,415
If you have an internet connection,

796
00:40:38,525 --> 00:40:40,895
iNaturalist will suggest 10 visually similar species

797
00:40:41,235 --> 00:40:42,575
and often a common ancestor.

798
00:40:42,755 --> 00:40:45,735
You can choose one of those or search for species name, name

799
00:40:48,915 --> 00:40:50,455
on this observation detail screen.

800
00:40:50,475 --> 00:40:53,575
You can add more photos of the same organism or write a note

801
00:40:59,635 --> 00:41:01,775
the date, time and location have been automatically added.

802
00:41:03,115 --> 00:41:07,655
You can also change the geo privacy of the observation mark,

803
00:41:07,655 --> 00:41:10,655
whether it's captive or cultivated or add it to a project.

804
00:41:13,885 --> 00:41:15,335
Once you're finished, just hit share

805
00:41:15,355 --> 00:41:16,775
and your observation will be uploaded

806
00:41:16,775 --> 00:41:18,135
for everyone to see and identify.

807
00:41:18,595 --> 00:41:20,975
That's it. Keep on exploring and sharing.

808
00:41:29,305 --> 00:41:32,175
Great. So here's a quick recap of that video.

809
00:41:32,955 --> 00:41:36,325
Install the app on your phone and then go ahead

810
00:41:36,325 --> 00:41:37,365
and create a free account.

811
00:41:37,365 --> 00:41:40,245
You'll need a, a username, a password and an email address.

812
00:41:41,225 --> 00:41:44,685
And then go outside or inside lots of spiders

813
00:41:44,825 --> 00:41:46,445
or a couple spiders live in my basement

814
00:41:46,625 --> 00:41:47,885
or the leaves in my gutter.

815
00:41:47,885 --> 00:41:49,565
That all counts as biodiversity.

816
00:41:50,405 --> 00:41:52,965
Just find a living organism or a sign of one.

817
00:41:53,065 --> 00:41:55,245
And so you might find maybe a deer antler

818
00:41:55,265 --> 00:41:57,565
or some deer scat that counts as well.

819
00:41:57,865 --> 00:42:00,565
It could be a bird feather that you found. That's fine too.

820
00:42:01,235 --> 00:42:04,085
iNaturalist is not a database for rocks

821
00:42:04,145 --> 00:42:06,765
or non-living things or fossils.

822
00:42:07,365 --> 00:42:10,325
So evidence or evidence of a living organism

823
00:42:10,385 --> 00:42:11,725
or an actual living organism

824
00:42:12,065 --> 00:42:13,925
that's been alive in recent history.

825
00:42:16,785 --> 00:42:19,005
Tap observe to choose the observation type.

826
00:42:19,065 --> 00:42:21,405
So this is where you can choose between taking a photo

827
00:42:21,405 --> 00:42:23,965
through the app, choosing a photo from your phone's photo

828
00:42:23,965 --> 00:42:25,565
library, or going ahead

829
00:42:25,565 --> 00:42:27,685
and recording a sound through the app.

830
00:42:29,145 --> 00:42:31,565
And then take the photo well that I just said,

831
00:42:31,565 --> 00:42:33,925
those options, and then identify what you found

832
00:42:33,925 --> 00:42:35,205
to the best of your ability.

833
00:42:35,345 --> 00:42:38,045
So iNaturalist does have those built-in suggestions,

834
00:42:38,865 --> 00:42:40,165
but it is wrong.

835
00:42:40,885 --> 00:42:43,045
Occasionally it's gotten much better over the years,

836
00:42:43,045 --> 00:42:44,565
but it still makes mistakes sometimes.

837
00:42:44,985 --> 00:42:47,365
And so for this picture on the bottom right, some

838
00:42:47,365 --> 00:42:49,485
of you may know this as American pokeweed,

839
00:42:49,785 --> 00:42:51,045
if you do go ahead

840
00:42:51,045 --> 00:42:53,085
and submit as as that, if you say, well,

841
00:42:53,435 --> 00:42:55,005
it's a plant, that's all I've got.

842
00:42:55,335 --> 00:42:58,685
Plant is perfectly fine, as long as it gets the ball rolling

843
00:42:59,225 --> 00:43:01,965
and doesn't stay at the unknown level, that's the goal.

844
00:43:03,025 --> 00:43:06,285
The catchall category, if you're really not sure is life,

845
00:43:07,145 --> 00:43:10,365
you know, is, is it a fungus or some sort of slime mold.

846
00:43:10,825 --> 00:43:12,085
If you're not sure, just submit it

847
00:43:12,085 --> 00:43:13,365
as life and that's good enough.

848
00:43:15,145 --> 00:43:17,125
And then go ahead and share your observation.

849
00:43:18,025 --> 00:43:19,685
One note I'll make on this is

850
00:43:20,385 --> 00:43:24,205
I'm not sure if the cell phone service at Broadview Farm is

851
00:43:24,445 --> 00:43:26,085
good or not, or if people are on a

852
00:43:26,085 --> 00:43:27,885
limited cellular data plan.

853
00:43:28,465 --> 00:43:31,125
You can upload your observations when you get home over

854
00:43:31,205 --> 00:43:32,245
a wifi connection.

855
00:43:32,585 --> 00:43:34,525
It doesn't have to be submitted right

856
00:43:34,525 --> 00:43:35,805
there wherever you are.

857
00:43:36,495 --> 00:43:37,805
It'll be saved in the app

858
00:43:37,825 --> 00:43:40,285
and then you can sync your observations when you have a

859
00:43:40,285 --> 00:43:42,485
better or stronger internet connection.

860
00:43:45,565 --> 00:43:49,735
This video is, offers some tips on how to take better photos

861
00:43:50,275 --> 00:43:51,295
so that whatever it is

862
00:43:51,295 --> 00:43:52,855
that you're seeing has a higher chance

863
00:43:52,855 --> 00:43:53,975
of getting identified.

864
00:44:57,915 --> 00:44:59,385
Great. And here's the recap.

865
00:44:59,765 --> 00:45:01,985
Not all of us are expert photographers.

866
00:45:02,045 --> 00:45:03,625
I'm, I'm far from that myself.

867
00:45:04,015 --> 00:45:05,625
I'll submit the occasional blurry photo

868
00:45:06,245 --> 00:45:07,425
on a, on a given day.

869
00:45:08,205 --> 00:45:10,025
But overall, try to get close

870
00:45:10,125 --> 00:45:12,745
but also be respectful of wildlife in particular.

871
00:45:13,485 --> 00:45:16,065
Our goal is not to harass wildlife, just to get a photo.

872
00:45:16,125 --> 00:45:18,305
We need to be respectful of, of them and

873
00:45:18,305 --> 00:45:19,385
and what they're trying to do.

874
00:45:19,945 --> 00:45:21,465
So get as close as you can reasonably.

875
00:45:21,465 --> 00:45:23,225
If it's a plant, certainly go right up to it.

876
00:45:23,855 --> 00:45:25,225
Just be mindful of thorns

877
00:45:25,225 --> 00:45:29,945
or poison ivy, something like that within the observation

878
00:45:30,695 --> 00:45:32,105
page on, on the app

879
00:45:32,105 --> 00:45:35,025
or the website, you can combine multiple photos into the

880
00:45:35,025 --> 00:45:37,665
same observation and that's highly recommended so

881
00:45:37,665 --> 00:45:39,785
that anyone who's looking at your photo says, okay,

882
00:45:40,405 --> 00:45:41,745
here's a detailed view of the leaf.

883
00:45:41,925 --> 00:45:44,265
Here's more of a, a back of view of the bark

884
00:45:44,325 --> 00:45:46,385
or maybe the whole structure of a tree.

885
00:45:47,525 --> 00:45:50,185
And then try to make sure your photos are in focus as well.

886
00:45:50,605 --> 00:45:53,305
You know, blurry photos can be okay for certain things

887
00:45:54,055 --> 00:45:55,585
that are really recognizable,

888
00:45:56,605 --> 00:46:00,025
but when you can make sure your photos are as detailed

889
00:46:00,025 --> 00:46:01,985
as possible, this is can be really important

890
00:46:01,985 --> 00:46:05,185
for certain plants and insects where there's, you know,

891
00:46:05,715 --> 00:46:06,785
small, small details

892
00:46:06,805 --> 00:46:09,025
and measurements that need to be made in order

893
00:46:09,025 --> 00:46:10,985
to identify something down to the species level.

894
00:46:11,965 --> 00:46:13,105
Pop quiz. Does anyone know

895
00:46:13,105 --> 00:46:15,145
what this species here on the page is?

896
00:46:18,455 --> 00:46:20,535
Milkweed? Is that milkweed? No,

897
00:46:20,685 --> 00:46:21,685
It's a good guess.

898
00:46:21,685 --> 00:46:22,475
Not milkweed.

899
00:46:24,765 --> 00:46:27,145
Poplar beach. It's

900
00:46:27,145 --> 00:46:28,145
A beach.

901
00:46:28,145 --> 00:46:30,065
Yes, this is an American beach rather healthy looking,

902
00:46:30,065 --> 00:46:32,305
looking one as you can see from the park here.

903
00:46:33,005 --> 00:46:35,305
Yep. So all three, all these three are the same species.

904
00:46:38,025 --> 00:46:40,705
Alrightyy. Let's see. Moving on to some other best practices

905
00:46:40,705 --> 00:46:42,065
that I've come up with over the years.

906
00:46:46,095 --> 00:46:48,905
Each observation should be of a single organism.

907
00:46:49,005 --> 00:46:50,625
So I did mention just a minute ago

908
00:46:50,625 --> 00:46:53,305
that you can combine multiple photos into one observation

909
00:46:53,845 --> 00:46:56,865
that's recommended for photos of the same organism,

910
00:46:57,005 --> 00:46:59,145
the same tree, the same plant, the same butterfly.

911
00:46:59,375 --> 00:47:01,785
However, the tree plant

912
00:47:01,805 --> 00:47:04,745
and the butterfly should not be in the same observation.

913
00:47:05,425 --> 00:47:06,585
They should all be kept separate.

914
00:47:06,765 --> 00:47:08,905
And that can be an easy pitfall for first time users.

915
00:47:10,605 --> 00:47:14,065
The focus of the BioBlitz will be all native species.

916
00:47:14,845 --> 00:47:16,945
It also introduce species if they're growing

917
00:47:17,335 --> 00:47:18,625
naturally or in the wild.

918
00:47:18,965 --> 00:47:20,585
We want to try to avoid anything

919
00:47:20,825 --> 00:47:23,105
that's been planted, cultivated or captive.

920
00:47:23,125 --> 00:47:26,785
So I think there may be some small gardens on the property

921
00:47:27,345 --> 00:47:29,350
and maybe some trees that have been planted over time.

922
00:47:29,350 --> 00:47:32,285
But most of the stuff we'll find should be wild growing.

923
00:47:33,395 --> 00:47:35,405
Otherwise, if it's not, we'll just market

924
00:47:35,465 --> 00:47:36,765
as cultivated captive.

925
00:47:36,985 --> 00:47:39,005
And that'll help separate those observations out

926
00:47:39,005 --> 00:47:40,125
from our final tally.

927
00:47:42,335 --> 00:47:44,045
Again, to save on that cellular data.

928
00:47:44,065 --> 00:47:45,965
If the, if it's limited at the farm

929
00:47:46,185 --> 00:47:48,485
or if anyone's on a limited data plan,

930
00:47:49,205 --> 00:47:51,205
I recommend uploading observations at home.

931
00:47:51,205 --> 00:47:54,485
Usually goes much quicker, a little less painstaking trying

932
00:47:54,485 --> 00:47:55,485
to do that out in the field.

933
00:47:56,145 --> 00:47:58,045
And then in the settings you can turn off

934
00:47:58,045 --> 00:47:59,125
the automatic upload.

935
00:47:59,655 --> 00:48:01,245
Again, no need to memorize all of this.

936
00:48:01,275 --> 00:48:03,445
I'll be there in person for the BioBlitz,

937
00:48:03,845 --> 00:48:05,565
but if you do get out to practice beforehand,

938
00:48:06,425 --> 00:48:07,485
you might wanna make a note.

939
00:48:08,945 --> 00:48:10,565
And then this record sound option

940
00:48:10,565 --> 00:48:12,485
that iNaturalist started using three

941
00:48:12,485 --> 00:48:14,165
or four years ago is excellent.

942
00:48:14,665 --> 00:48:17,365
We will be starting with a bird walk first

943
00:48:17,365 --> 00:48:18,645
thing for the BioBlitz.

944
00:48:18,785 --> 00:48:20,045
And so this will be a really great way

945
00:48:20,045 --> 00:48:21,725
to document a lot of the birds that we're seeing.

946
00:48:26,805 --> 00:48:28,585
And of course, multiple observations of

947
00:48:28,585 --> 00:48:30,065
of the same species are encouraged.

948
00:48:30,065 --> 00:48:32,065
So what this means is if someone already documents,

949
00:48:32,085 --> 00:48:34,305
say common milkweed during the BioBlitz,

950
00:48:34,535 --> 00:48:37,625
it's okay if another person documents another milkweed

951
00:48:37,625 --> 00:48:38,785
elsewhere in the property or even

952
00:48:38,785 --> 00:48:40,345
that same exact milkweed plant.

953
00:48:41,205 --> 00:48:44,465
The goal not just is, is more than just finding

954
00:48:44,565 --> 00:48:45,985
as many species as possible.

955
00:48:46,295 --> 00:48:50,305
It's also to connect a bunch of people with nature, maybe

956
00:48:50,305 --> 00:48:51,865
to share some identification tips

957
00:48:52,565 --> 00:48:54,265
and just have an enjoyable day.

958
00:48:55,125 --> 00:48:57,625
And so it's okay if we have duplicate observations

959
00:48:57,655 --> 00:48:58,705
from different observers.

960
00:48:59,365 --> 00:49:02,185
And another benefit to this is we can then more closely map

961
00:49:02,185 --> 00:49:04,505
the distribution of certain species on the property.

962
00:49:04,925 --> 00:49:08,105
Say there's an uncommon butterfly like the Baltimore checker

963
00:49:08,105 --> 00:49:10,305
spot, which is actually kind of common at Broadview Farm

964
00:49:10,655 --> 00:49:12,625
through iNaturalist and the BioBlitz.

965
00:49:12,725 --> 00:49:15,265
We can map its distribution throughout the property.

966
00:49:15,285 --> 00:49:16,905
Is it using certain fields more than others?

967
00:49:17,285 --> 00:49:20,025
Or maybe it's avoiding places closest to the road or,

968
00:49:20,165 --> 00:49:21,465
or the wetland edge.

969
00:49:21,905 --> 00:49:23,465
So we can start to get a better sense of

970
00:49:23,465 --> 00:49:27,065
how specific species are utilizing the property over time.

971
00:49:29,495 --> 00:49:30,555
And I already mentioned this,

972
00:49:30,795 --> 00:49:32,555
multiple people can document the same organism.

973
00:49:32,555 --> 00:49:35,315
That's fine. How scientists treat iNaturalist data.

974
00:49:35,315 --> 00:49:36,915
They account for this all the time.

975
00:49:38,775 --> 00:49:40,555
And, and so there's no problem with doing that.

976
00:49:42,375 --> 00:49:44,355
So a little bit more about iNaturalist,

977
00:49:44,745 --> 00:49:46,435
over 4.2 million people

978
00:49:46,495 --> 00:49:50,395
around the world have shared observations to the platform

979
00:49:50,915 --> 00:49:52,115
and it's growing rapidly.

980
00:49:52,305 --> 00:49:54,675
When I last did a similar presentation in November,

981
00:49:55,275 --> 00:49:57,675
I think it was well below 4 million at that time.

982
00:49:58,855 --> 00:50:00,915
And then there's the identification side of things.

983
00:50:00,915 --> 00:50:03,515
So if you think about to when we submit an observation

984
00:50:03,535 --> 00:50:05,155
to iNaturalist other,

985
00:50:05,155 --> 00:50:07,875
another iNaturalist user will come along and verify

986
00:50:07,975 --> 00:50:10,075
or say, oh actually I think it's in this

987
00:50:10,125 --> 00:50:11,435
genus and and here's why.

988
00:50:11,895 --> 00:50:13,755
And half a million people have done that

989
00:50:13,815 --> 00:50:15,155
for other iNaturalist users.

990
00:50:15,215 --> 00:50:17,195
So they're big, big part of the program

991
00:50:17,915 --> 00:50:19,435
and making what it is today.

992
00:50:21,335 --> 00:50:22,835
One of the, my favorite uses

993
00:50:22,835 --> 00:50:24,395
of my naturalist is I can keep track

994
00:50:24,395 --> 00:50:27,710
of everything I've seen both spatially as a map of, of

995
00:50:27,710 --> 00:50:30,165
where I've traveled and a list of all the species

996
00:50:30,195 --> 00:50:31,565
that I've documented over time.

997
00:50:31,585 --> 00:50:32,845
And so it's, it's fun

998
00:50:32,845 --> 00:50:34,725
because I won't necessarily remember everything

999
00:50:34,725 --> 00:50:35,965
that I've seen on all these trips,

1000
00:50:36,185 --> 00:50:39,765
but through our naturalist I can keep a digital diary

1001
00:50:40,245 --> 00:50:41,645
of the biodiversity that I document.

1002
00:50:41,645 --> 00:50:43,925
And so it's really easy to set that up for yourself

1003
00:50:44,785 --> 00:50:47,645
or for, you know, a conservation commission as a group

1004
00:50:48,185 --> 00:50:49,325
or throughout the entire town.

1005
00:50:49,325 --> 00:50:50,445
That's something that we've done for

1006
00:50:50,445 --> 00:50:51,645
other conservation commissions.

1007
00:50:54,355 --> 00:50:55,495
On the species side of things,

1008
00:50:55,515 --> 00:50:58,855
you can filter observations both for your own records

1009
00:50:59,075 --> 00:51:01,255
and for other other iNaturalist projects.

1010
00:51:01,515 --> 00:51:03,815
So here on the left there, these are some

1011
00:51:04,015 --> 00:51:06,695
of the most common, most frequently documented

1012
00:51:07,255 --> 00:51:08,295
organisms that I've seen.

1013
00:51:08,435 --> 00:51:10,055
And then plants are on the right.

1014
00:51:10,325 --> 00:51:12,535
It's a good mix of, of New Hampshire species here.

1015
00:51:15,205 --> 00:51:17,185
Not only can you explore your own personal data

1016
00:51:17,185 --> 00:51:18,265
through our naturalist, but you can

1017
00:51:18,265 --> 00:51:19,665
explore everyone else's data.

1018
00:51:19,965 --> 00:51:21,985
So this is a map of all the observations

1019
00:51:21,985 --> 00:51:23,265
submitted to our naturalist.

1020
00:51:24,055 --> 00:51:26,825
It's heavily used in North America as well

1021
00:51:26,825 --> 00:51:28,505
as Western Europe, but there are tons

1022
00:51:28,505 --> 00:51:30,425
of observations from the Central Atlantic,

1023
00:51:30,805 --> 00:51:32,825
the South Pacific Antarctica even.

1024
00:51:33,765 --> 00:51:35,185
And so iNaturalist is,

1025
00:51:35,245 --> 00:51:36,705
is rapidly becoming the largest

1026
00:51:36,705 --> 00:51:38,225
biodiversity database out there.

1027
00:51:38,225 --> 00:51:40,705
It's certainly the widest used by scientists.

1028
00:51:42,085 --> 00:51:44,785
And so it, this sort of shows the whole picture of, of

1029
00:51:44,785 --> 00:51:45,905
what we're contributing to.

1030
00:51:46,095 --> 00:51:49,265
It's, it's not just a BioBlitz at Broadview farm on

1031
00:51:49,265 --> 00:51:52,305
June 27th and Derry New Hampshire we're contributing to a,

1032
00:51:52,465 --> 00:51:55,465
a much bigger project where scientific

1033
00:51:55,605 --> 00:51:57,105
and conservation discoveries are happening

1034
00:51:57,205 --> 00:51:58,505
at a really rapid pace.

1035
00:52:00,605 --> 00:52:04,665
So earlier, I guess it's now June, so in May I,

1036
00:52:04,785 --> 00:52:06,785
I set up this project on iNaturalist.

1037
00:52:06,815 --> 00:52:09,225
It's for Broadview farm conservation area.

1038
00:52:09,625 --> 00:52:13,545
Specifically this project will run in perpetuity as long

1039
00:52:13,545 --> 00:52:15,665
as iNaturalist exists it.

1040
00:52:15,665 --> 00:52:19,265
So it's a running tally of all the observations submitted

1041
00:52:19,805 --> 00:52:21,865
on the conservation area property.

1042
00:52:22,135 --> 00:52:26,745
Okay. And so already you're up to 1100 observations

1043
00:52:26,765 --> 00:52:28,385
of 327 species.

1044
00:52:29,225 --> 00:52:31,025
These are some observations made

1045
00:52:31,445 --> 00:52:34,465
by an observer just 24 hours ago who is out

1046
00:52:35,065 --> 00:52:36,185
documenting things on the property.

1047
00:52:37,985 --> 00:52:39,705
You can also keep track of the most

1048
00:52:40,265 --> 00:52:42,065
frequently observed species on the property.

1049
00:52:42,065 --> 00:52:44,625
So pex skipper, smaller butterflies,

1050
00:52:44,685 --> 00:52:46,545
the number one most observed species.

1051
00:52:47,085 --> 00:52:49,225
If you couldn't guess, this is a really popular place

1052
00:52:49,225 --> 00:52:50,705
for butterfly enthusiasts to go.

1053
00:52:50,705 --> 00:52:52,905
Yeah, definitely is. There's a lot of, a lot

1054
00:52:52,905 --> 00:52:55,225
of great butterflies there and a lot of people know it.

1055
00:52:55,445 --> 00:52:59,305
Yep. So one of my goals for the BioBlitz is to say, okay,

1056
00:53:00,215 --> 00:53:01,825
some people focus on the butterflies,

1057
00:53:02,085 --> 00:53:04,865
but let's document more of the plants, some of the less

1058
00:53:05,415 --> 00:53:06,825
appreciated insects.

1059
00:53:06,975 --> 00:53:09,305
Certainly we'll be looking for slime molds and,

1060
00:53:09,365 --> 00:53:11,465
and obscure things as well as common things as well

1061
00:53:12,045 --> 00:53:13,745
to really round out, you know,

1062
00:53:13,805 --> 00:53:17,025
are these the most common species at Broadview farm

1063
00:53:17,485 --> 00:53:19,945
or there seems like there's just a heavy focus on

1064
00:53:19,945 --> 00:53:20,945
butterflies so far.

1065
00:53:22,405 --> 00:53:23,945
So we'll be exploring that all day.

1066
00:53:24,765 --> 00:53:26,685
And then you can also view a map for

1067
00:53:26,685 --> 00:53:30,125
where across the property these observations have been made.

1068
00:53:30,235 --> 00:53:31,525
Each point can be clicked on.

1069
00:53:31,545 --> 00:53:33,205
You can look at the observation details.

1070
00:53:33,905 --> 00:53:37,285
So this one was from yesterday, green clover worm moth.

1071
00:53:37,725 --> 00:53:42,005
They're flying right now pretty common and and grassy areas,

1072
00:53:42,965 --> 00:53:45,725
but I'm sure we'll find a lot more come June 27th.

1073
00:53:47,645 --> 00:53:50,325
I will share a link with this, a link to the project

1074
00:53:50,475 --> 00:53:52,525
with Beth who can share it out

1075
00:53:52,525 --> 00:53:54,925
to the entire conservation commission for you

1076
00:53:54,925 --> 00:53:56,565
to explore prior to the BioBlitz.

1077
00:53:58,835 --> 00:54:01,325
Okay, so we're, we're gonna be collecting a lot

1078
00:54:01,325 --> 00:54:03,845
of data from Broady farm during the BioBlitz,

1079
00:54:03,865 --> 00:54:06,885
but as I mentioned, this project will run in perpetuity.

1080
00:54:06,945 --> 00:54:09,445
So what could you as a conservation commission do with it?

1081
00:54:09,475 --> 00:54:11,005
Well, here are some options.

1082
00:54:11,645 --> 00:54:14,285
You'll be able to get a sense for the species that are there

1083
00:54:14,305 --> 00:54:15,685
and maybe elsewhere in dairy.

1084
00:54:15,735 --> 00:54:18,925
Which ones are locally common uncommon or even rare.

1085
00:54:20,745 --> 00:54:22,165
You could even use the data

1086
00:54:22,265 --> 00:54:24,285
to target invasive species for removal.

1087
00:54:24,385 --> 00:54:27,125
So if that's of interest, you'll now have a map of

1088
00:54:27,125 --> 00:54:28,565
where these species are located

1089
00:54:28,665 --> 00:54:30,485
and what concentrations they are so

1090
00:54:30,485 --> 00:54:32,245
that it takes part of the planning.

1091
00:54:32,685 --> 00:54:33,885
It's already been done for you.

1092
00:54:34,405 --> 00:54:35,725
You say, okay here's the Japanese knot.

1093
00:54:35,725 --> 00:54:39,525
We let's tackle this in 2026 glossy buckthorn in 2027.

1094
00:54:39,825 --> 00:54:41,485
And you'll have places ready to go.

1095
00:54:43,145 --> 00:54:45,965
You can monitor climate driven arrivals and departures.

1096
00:54:45,985 --> 00:54:49,925
So in the 1970 breeding bird atlas of New Hampshire,

1097
00:54:50,145 --> 00:54:51,245
red billed Woodpecker

1098
00:54:51,245 --> 00:54:53,925
and Carolina Ren weren't even mentioned yet.

1099
00:54:53,945 --> 00:54:55,685
Now for those of you who know your birds,

1100
00:54:55,685 --> 00:54:58,285
they're everywhere all the way up to the white mountains.

1101
00:54:58,425 --> 00:55:01,445
Yep. And so places like a naturalist can help keep track

1102
00:55:01,505 --> 00:55:03,485
and detect these early arrivals

1103
00:55:03,485 --> 00:55:05,125
or potential departures of species.

1104
00:55:05,175 --> 00:55:06,485
Maybe a certain violet

1105
00:55:07,025 --> 00:55:08,365
or even a certain kind

1106
00:55:08,365 --> 00:55:10,965
of moth maybe hasn't been seen in dairy in 30 years.

1107
00:55:11,665 --> 00:55:14,805
Is it really gone? Or maybe no one's documented it.

1108
00:55:15,625 --> 00:55:18,925
And so another great reason to host bios is

1109
00:55:18,925 --> 00:55:20,405
to fill in those missing data gaps.

1110
00:55:22,005 --> 00:55:24,485
And then of course, yes, we love talking about the plants

1111
00:55:24,485 --> 00:55:27,725
and animals, but as humans it's always good to connect

1112
00:55:27,725 --> 00:55:29,765
with others and share our passion for nature

1113
00:55:30,065 --> 00:55:31,845
and really inspire a deeper connection.

1114
00:55:32,075 --> 00:55:33,205
Once we know something

1115
00:55:33,205 --> 00:55:35,565
and care about it, we're more likely to protect it.

1116
00:55:36,085 --> 00:55:38,765
And so really working with, with spreading the word as much

1117
00:55:38,765 --> 00:55:41,325
as we can to attract a large audience to the BioBlitz.

1118
00:55:41,985 --> 00:55:43,725
And hopefully some kids will be

1119
00:55:43,725 --> 00:55:44,805
there for the next generation.

1120
00:55:47,125 --> 00:55:48,685
And then one of the cool features of

1121
00:55:48,825 --> 00:55:51,405
and working with iNaturalist data is you can create a local

1122
00:55:51,515 --> 00:55:55,125
phenology calendar for when certain species can be observed.

1123
00:55:55,225 --> 00:55:57,805
And so a lot of conservation commissions or land trusts

1124
00:55:57,805 --> 00:56:00,485
or other groups have worked with their iNaturalist data

1125
00:56:00,825 --> 00:56:02,205
to make calendars

1126
00:56:02,265 --> 00:56:06,165
or kiosk info signs about when the milkweed flowers or,

1127
00:56:06,425 --> 00:56:09,405
or when the azaleas bloom and what pollinators are visiting

1128
00:56:09,405 --> 00:56:12,525
and how how the shifts in flowering times can affect them.

1129
00:56:12,865 --> 00:56:15,605
And so you can create, you can collect data specific

1130
00:56:15,665 --> 00:56:17,965
to Broadview farm or other places in dairy

1131
00:56:18,225 --> 00:56:21,405
and then convert it into little informational signs

1132
00:56:21,965 --> 00:56:23,605
or data to,

1133
00:56:23,625 --> 00:56:26,165
to help other people understand the ecosystem at play.

1134
00:56:29,005 --> 00:56:30,645
Alrighty, I think I'm doing okay on time.

1135
00:56:30,645 --> 00:56:31,885
We'll have plenty of time for questions.

1136
00:56:32,505 --> 00:56:35,605
So upcoming end of June is the Broadview Farm BioBlitz.

1137
00:56:35,605 --> 00:56:38,645
This will be on Saturday. It'll be a 24 hour event.

1138
00:56:39,195 --> 00:56:42,365
I'll be there from about 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM

1139
00:56:43,065 --> 00:56:45,485
People are more than welcome to show up at midnight,

1140
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:48,245
bring some black lights or ultraviolet lights

1141
00:56:48,265 --> 00:56:50,725
and look for moths or get there right at sunrise

1142
00:56:50,945 --> 00:56:53,125
around 5:00 AM 4 45.

1143
00:56:53,425 --> 00:56:55,325
And when the dawn course is really going

1144
00:56:55,325 --> 00:56:56,365
to document more birds.

1145
00:56:56,825 --> 00:56:59,325
And then after I leave, you know, the event doesn't end

1146
00:56:59,325 --> 00:57:00,805
until midnight on Saturday.

1147
00:57:01,825 --> 00:57:03,525
And so folks are welcome to attend

1148
00:57:04,135 --> 00:57:06,485
after Al be gone if they're unable

1149
00:57:06,485 --> 00:57:07,565
to be there during the day.

1150
00:57:07,945 --> 00:57:09,685
So it will be a 24 hour event.

1151
00:57:09,935 --> 00:57:13,525
We'll see how many species we can find on a good day.

1152
00:57:13,635 --> 00:57:15,845
This bios is really well time for the end of June,

1153
00:57:15,845 --> 00:57:18,205
which is almost peak biodiversity season

1154
00:57:18,235 --> 00:57:19,485
here in Southern New Hampshire.

1155
00:57:20,525 --> 00:57:24,005
I expect we'll find between 300, 600 species wow within

1156
00:57:24,005 --> 00:57:25,285
that 24 hour period.

1157
00:57:26,725 --> 00:57:29,045
Probably a bunch of species that have not been documented

1158
00:57:29,045 --> 00:57:32,285
before in dairy and maybe one to five species

1159
00:57:32,285 --> 00:57:33,965
that I haven't been seen before in New Hampshire

1160
00:57:34,305 --> 00:57:35,485
and put on that naturalist.

1161
00:57:36,125 --> 00:57:38,765
So I've got high hopes for this event, even if it rains.

1162
00:57:38,765 --> 00:57:40,725
We're still looking at well over 200 species

1163
00:57:41,405 --> 00:57:44,205
depending on the plant diversity in particular.

1164
00:57:45,145 --> 00:57:47,025
But I, I'm really, really excited for this event.

1165
00:57:47,965 --> 00:57:51,865
So before the event, here's how you can help out advertise,

1166
00:57:51,935 --> 00:57:53,145
advertise, advertise.

1167
00:57:53,765 --> 00:57:57,225
The more people we have show up at any time on Saturday,

1168
00:57:57,865 --> 00:58:00,545
the more eyes we have, the more people

1169
00:58:00,565 --> 00:58:01,745
who can make observations

1170
00:58:02,525 --> 00:58:04,705
and certain people just gravitate towards

1171
00:58:04,775 --> 00:58:05,985
different parts of nature.

1172
00:58:06,695 --> 00:58:08,225
Some people like to look up at the sky.

1173
00:58:08,985 --> 00:58:10,785
I myself might find myself calling on my hands

1174
00:58:10,785 --> 00:58:12,305
and knees in the middle of the vit.

1175
00:58:12,885 --> 00:58:15,625
And so we'll have people sort of looking in all directions,

1176
00:58:15,625 --> 00:58:17,025
different things, catching their eyes

1177
00:58:17,325 --> 00:58:19,025
and documenting what we find.

1178
00:58:19,735 --> 00:58:23,785
I'll be reaching out to some power users of iNaturalist

1179
00:58:23,785 --> 00:58:26,305
who live in the area to make sure this is on

1180
00:58:26,305 --> 00:58:27,505
their calendars for that event.

1181
00:58:28,845 --> 00:58:32,705
So also I recommend creating your iNaturalist to count ahead

1182
00:58:32,745 --> 00:58:34,145
of time and practicing.

1183
00:58:34,245 --> 00:58:37,265
Try to submit five or 10 observations beforehand just

1184
00:58:37,265 --> 00:58:38,465
to sort of smooth out the kinks.

1185
00:58:38,465 --> 00:58:39,625
And if you're really having trouble,

1186
00:58:40,265 --> 00:58:42,945
certainly arrive on Saturday when I'll be there

1187
00:58:43,465 --> 00:58:45,025
and I'm happy to help you in person.

1188
00:58:46,885 --> 00:58:50,065
So with that I'd like to break for questions.

1189
00:58:54,105 --> 00:58:55,665
I had one that just popped up at the end.

1190
00:58:55,725 --> 00:58:57,985
You said power users in the area.

1191
00:58:58,425 --> 00:59:00,625
So is that something you're able to see like an account

1192
00:59:00,625 --> 00:59:03,745
with like hundreds of observations like people

1193
00:59:03,745 --> 00:59:05,145
who are really already active

1194
00:59:05,205 --> 00:59:08,265
and connected to natural communities in these areas?

1195
00:59:08,325 --> 00:59:09,325
Is that what you're saying?

1196
00:59:10,665 --> 00:59:13,465
Absolutely. And so what you could do an iNaturalist

1197
00:59:13,465 --> 00:59:15,025
and what I'll be doing is I can go

1198
00:59:15,025 --> 00:59:18,185
to the explore page looking at the town of Derry

1199
00:59:18,185 --> 00:59:20,025
or maybe more broadly Rockingham County

1200
00:59:20,125 --> 00:59:22,205
and seeing who are the top iNaturalist

1201
00:59:22,845 --> 00:59:24,125
observers in the area.

1202
00:59:24,615 --> 00:59:26,605
Maybe they have a thousand observations

1203
00:59:26,665 --> 00:59:29,085
or 10,000 observations already submitted.

1204
00:59:29,345 --> 00:59:30,565
And I'll send them a little message

1205
00:59:30,625 --> 00:59:32,765
and say, Hey, if you're free this weekend, we'd love

1206
00:59:32,765 --> 00:59:35,525
to have you here and help out with your expertise

1207
00:59:36,165 --> 00:59:37,485
to help us find more species.

1208
00:59:38,305 --> 00:59:41,005
Oh, that's awesome. That Would be really helpful. Yeah.

1209
00:59:42,315 --> 00:59:45,045
Another question just in regards to your hopes

1210
00:59:45,045 --> 00:59:46,125
for identifying species

1211
00:59:46,265 --> 00:59:49,165
and stuff, is that going to be included against

1212
00:59:49,345 --> 00:59:50,925
or compared against the number

1213
00:59:50,955 --> 00:59:52,885
with the observations that are already there?

1214
00:59:53,085 --> 00:59:54,365
'cause it said like 1000 current,

1215
00:59:54,675 --> 00:59:56,925
some odd current observations, this many species

1216
00:59:57,185 --> 00:59:59,045
and this many observers on that area.

1217
00:59:59,065 --> 01:00:01,125
Is that something we're gonna be comparing with

1218
01:00:01,625 --> 01:00:03,685
or are you just hoping to like include that, you know,

1219
01:00:03,685 --> 01:00:05,045
like species already observed

1220
01:00:05,065 --> 01:00:07,725
and like you said, re-surging them is okay?

1221
01:00:08,875 --> 01:00:09,925
Yeah, that's a great question.

1222
01:00:09,985 --> 01:00:12,365
And so once the observations are submitted

1223
01:00:12,365 --> 01:00:14,325
to our naturalist, I'll apply a filter

1224
01:00:14,665 --> 01:00:17,525
for just the observation seen on Saturday

1225
01:00:18,585 --> 01:00:21,205
and that'll give us a tally of everything documented

1226
01:00:21,205 --> 01:00:23,445
during the BioBlitz and we can directly compare that

1227
01:00:23,445 --> 01:00:25,685
to everything seen prior to the BioBlitz.

1228
01:00:26,025 --> 01:00:28,125
And then we can also view everything all together.

1229
01:00:28,625 --> 01:00:31,725
And so the project that I've set up will update in real time

1230
01:00:32,785 --> 01:00:34,165
as observations are submitted

1231
01:00:34,545 --> 01:00:37,525
and that'll give you the running tally for the property.

1232
01:00:37,745 --> 01:00:39,285
And then I'll be able to filter it

1233
01:00:39,285 --> 01:00:41,565
for just the BioBlitz day, how did we do?

1234
01:00:42,265 --> 01:00:44,205
And the plan is to write, you know,

1235
01:00:44,205 --> 01:00:47,165
a little half page write up with some highlights to share

1236
01:00:47,165 --> 01:00:49,485
with you that you can then post to social media or,

1237
01:00:49,505 --> 01:00:52,045
or use for outreach and go from there.

1238
01:00:53,595 --> 01:00:56,125
Nice. I actually have two questions.

1239
01:00:56,205 --> 01:01:00,005
I I haven't used it before, I'm just, just signed on now.

1240
01:01:00,665 --> 01:01:03,725
So the first one is, and so in in, in terms of like the,

1241
01:01:03,745 --> 01:01:06,525
the database, is it similar to social media

1242
01:01:06,525 --> 01:01:11,325
that it's like grouped by species or by areas states?

1243
01:01:11,465 --> 01:01:14,285
So in other words, if like I went tonight on the way home

1244
01:01:14,545 --> 01:01:15,725
and submitted something,

1245
01:01:16,585 --> 01:01:18,725
or if I traveled somewhere else, like across the country,

1246
01:01:18,875 --> 01:01:21,285
like I would have my own account very similar to that.

1247
01:01:21,825 --> 01:01:24,805
And that would be, how would they be grouped?

1248
01:01:24,805 --> 01:01:27,485
Would they be grouped by species, by areas by?

1249
01:01:28,625 --> 01:01:32,325
So if I was interested in say, cross-referencing a species,

1250
01:01:32,715 --> 01:01:33,885
like how would I look that up?

1251
01:01:35,425 --> 01:01:36,525
That's a good question

1252
01:01:36,785 --> 01:01:39,525
and if I don't answer it, feel free to ask it again.

1253
01:01:39,595 --> 01:01:42,645
Okay. When you submit an observation to try a naturalist,

1254
01:01:42,645 --> 01:01:44,485
you can access it in a lot of different ways.

1255
01:01:44,545 --> 01:01:46,285
And so if you're looking at just your personal data,

1256
01:01:46,585 --> 01:01:48,205
you'll be able to see all your species.

1257
01:01:48,585 --> 01:01:50,605
You can also click on an observation

1258
01:01:50,605 --> 01:01:51,685
and look at a map for where

1259
01:01:51,685 --> 01:01:54,125
that species has been seen elsewhere throughout the world.

1260
01:01:54,585 --> 01:01:57,925
And so all the species as well as other taxa.

1261
01:01:57,925 --> 01:02:01,245
So you could look at genus family order class,

1262
01:02:01,395 --> 01:02:04,325
kingdom levels and see a map of observations.

1263
01:02:04,345 --> 01:02:08,525
You could read more about each taxonomic level for

1264
01:02:08,525 --> 01:02:09,525
to get some fun facts.

1265
01:02:09,665 --> 01:02:13,405
And on iNaturalist, each profile page for genus species,

1266
01:02:13,665 --> 01:02:16,445
et cetera, has links to other resources online.

1267
01:02:17,465 --> 01:02:21,645
And so the app is really an entry point to iNaturalist

1268
01:02:21,645 --> 01:02:23,765
where you can submit data, kind

1269
01:02:23,765 --> 01:02:26,085
of peruse your own observations easily.

1270
01:02:27,065 --> 01:02:29,925
But the real magic of iNaturalist, from my opinion,

1271
01:02:29,945 --> 01:02:31,045
is using the website

1272
01:02:31,145 --> 01:02:33,845
and exploring the data in all these different facets.

1273
01:02:35,105 --> 01:02:36,565
And so you can group things

1274
01:02:36,905 --> 01:02:40,485
and endless ways, which doesn't really answer your question,

1275
01:02:40,545 --> 01:02:41,885
but anything's possible.

1276
01:02:42,275 --> 01:02:43,725
Okay. I I think I understand.

1277
01:02:43,985 --> 01:02:48,005
And then the second is, does it, does it identify via video?

1278
01:02:48,265 --> 01:02:51,045
So if you have, like, say you have like a camera on your

1279
01:02:51,245 --> 01:02:54,205
property and animal comes by, does you know, does video

1280
01:02:54,315 --> 01:02:57,245
that you may have in your, in your photos

1281
01:02:57,505 --> 01:03:02,045
or in your, your own phone app, would that be usable

1282
01:03:02,145 --> 01:03:03,765
or does it need to be still photo?

1283
01:03:04,815 --> 01:03:08,445
Great question. It does not accept video.

1284
01:03:08,835 --> 01:03:12,005
However, it will accept a gif photo, A GIF.

1285
01:03:12,505 --> 01:03:14,685
And so there are free online programs

1286
01:03:14,765 --> 01:03:18,325
where you can convert a video to a gif and then upload that.

1287
01:03:18,425 --> 01:03:21,605
And so it still looks like a video when you submit it?

1288
01:03:21,885 --> 01:03:24,125
Yeah, to a naturalist, but it's a different format.

1289
01:03:24,595 --> 01:03:26,325
I've never done it, but lots of people have.

1290
01:03:27,025 --> 01:03:30,605
So that is an option When I, when I put out trail cameras

1291
01:03:30,665 --> 01:03:33,925
for work or for pleasure, I usually have a, most of them set

1292
01:03:33,925 --> 01:03:35,725
to photo just so I can upload them

1293
01:03:35,725 --> 01:03:36,805
to my naturalist really easily.

1294
01:03:37,485 --> 01:03:38,885
But the videos are so compelling

1295
01:03:38,885 --> 01:03:40,485
that I always have some of those out as well.

1296
01:03:41,475 --> 01:03:45,645
Okay, thank you. Just something that was thought

1297
01:03:45,645 --> 01:03:48,245
of over here is, you know, we're using this for

1298
01:03:48,925 --> 01:03:50,965
specifically broad view, this bio blitz and stuff,

1299
01:03:50,985 --> 01:03:53,325
but of course you know, this is gonna be something

1300
01:03:53,325 --> 01:03:55,005
that hopefully our community will jump on

1301
01:03:55,005 --> 01:03:57,325
for other properties and we might wanna do this at

1302
01:03:57,325 --> 01:03:58,445
other properties as well.

1303
01:03:59,825 --> 01:04:03,805
We do allow, this might be maybe not connected,

1304
01:04:03,805 --> 01:04:05,765
but we do allow hunting on some of our properties.

1305
01:04:06,225 --> 01:04:08,885
And so maybe then bringing up some concerns about

1306
01:04:09,485 --> 01:04:11,325
tracking the species, you know,

1307
01:04:11,325 --> 01:04:13,605
seasonal hunting species that might be in those areas.

1308
01:04:13,985 --> 01:04:16,565
Has that ever rage raised any concern at all?

1309
01:04:18,045 --> 01:04:19,525
Absolutely. And so yes,

1310
01:04:19,525 --> 01:04:21,605
that can be a concern not only just for species

1311
01:04:21,605 --> 01:04:22,725
that might be hunted, but also

1312
01:04:22,725 --> 01:04:23,885
for rare and threatened species.

1313
01:04:24,015 --> 01:04:26,125
Right. Particularly turtles or snakes

1314
01:04:26,185 --> 01:04:27,365
or things that might get poached.

1315
01:04:27,535 --> 01:04:31,445
Right. And so in that 92nd video that I shared,

1316
01:04:31,865 --> 01:04:33,085
it went over it really quickly.

1317
01:04:33,225 --> 01:04:35,805
Oh, I didn't see that. But there's a geo privacy option

1318
01:04:36,335 --> 01:04:38,925
where you can, it's open by default,

1319
01:04:38,925 --> 01:04:41,005
which means others can see the specific location

1320
01:04:41,145 --> 01:04:43,285
for the observation, but you can change it to obscured

1321
01:04:44,105 --> 01:04:46,565
and that essentially hides the true coordinates

1322
01:04:46,565 --> 01:04:49,525
of the observation from everyone but yourself

1323
01:04:49,985 --> 01:04:52,565
unless you give another user specific permission

1324
01:04:52,585 --> 01:04:55,005
to look at the true coordinates for that observation.

1325
01:04:55,705 --> 01:04:58,765
And so the obscured observations are hidden within,

1326
01:04:59,765 --> 01:05:02,645
I think a 20 kilometer by 40 kilometer box.

1327
01:05:03,395 --> 01:05:04,525
It's a pretty big area.

1328
01:05:04,585 --> 01:05:07,085
So it's, it's very difficult to tell where

1329
01:05:07,085 --> 01:05:08,885
that observation was actually made,

1330
01:05:09,545 --> 01:05:11,605
but it doesn't quite obscure it to the fact

1331
01:05:11,605 --> 01:05:13,925
where we don't know where in the world this photo was taken,

1332
01:05:14,855 --> 01:05:16,645
which would be if you change the geo privacy,

1333
01:05:16,875 --> 01:05:18,525
privacy settings to private,

1334
01:05:20,015 --> 01:05:22,885
which hides the location entirely.

1335
01:05:23,805 --> 01:05:26,245
And that makes it really hard for anyone to identify

1336
01:05:26,245 --> 01:05:27,245
what it is that you saw

1337
01:05:27,245 --> 01:05:29,725
because something in Africa might look really similar

1338
01:05:29,825 --> 01:05:31,085
to something that's growing here.

1339
01:05:31,305 --> 01:05:32,965
And there'd be no way to tell without a hint

1340
01:05:32,985 --> 01:05:34,005
of the geography.

1341
01:05:34,705 --> 01:05:37,125
And so for anything that you might be concerned about

1342
01:05:37,225 --> 01:05:39,205
or if you're observing around your house

1343
01:05:39,225 --> 01:05:40,685
and you don't necessarily wanna share

1344
01:05:41,235 --> 01:05:44,165
your house location on a naturalist, you can obscure

1345
01:05:44,695 --> 01:05:45,845
those observations.

1346
01:05:46,895 --> 01:05:49,285
Personally, I don't care if people know

1347
01:05:49,285 --> 01:05:50,845
where I submit on naturalist observations from.

1348
01:05:50,845 --> 01:05:54,525
So most of my stuff is open unless it's something rare

1349
01:05:54,665 --> 01:05:56,285
or endangered that might be poached.

1350
01:05:57,025 --> 01:05:58,205
So I do obscure those

1351
01:05:58,225 --> 01:05:59,765
and you could do the same thing for species

1352
01:05:59,765 --> 01:06:01,925
that might be hunted that you don't want any

1353
01:06:01,925 --> 01:06:03,165
hunters getting wind of.

1354
01:06:04,185 --> 01:06:05,245
That's awesome. Thank you.

1355
01:06:06,545 --> 01:06:10,325
Can I ask like if someone, like, if, if don't know,

1356
01:06:10,825 --> 01:06:14,605
if a species is like rare right?

1357
01:06:14,965 --> 01:06:16,885
And you don't really know what it is, is there a way

1358
01:06:16,885 --> 01:06:20,685
to go back and like if it's identified by, you know,

1359
01:06:20,705 --> 01:06:25,165
the other professionals on the site as something rare,

1360
01:06:25,705 --> 01:06:27,405
can you go back and obscure it

1361
01:06:27,405 --> 01:06:28,925
after you've already submitted? Hmm.

1362
01:06:29,785 --> 01:06:31,205
Yes. Absolutely.

1363
01:06:31,785 --> 01:06:34,925
So anything that you submit, you can always go back, delete,

1364
01:06:35,235 --> 01:06:36,805
edit, change the parameters.

1365
01:06:36,995 --> 01:06:38,445
It's all accessible to you.

1366
01:06:38,545 --> 01:06:41,525
The person who submitted it for really rare stuff,

1367
01:06:41,595 --> 01:06:43,005
it's obscured by default.

1368
01:06:43,945 --> 01:06:45,325
So say you saw a blendings turtle,

1369
01:06:45,325 --> 01:06:46,765
which is state endangered, right?

1370
01:06:46,825 --> 01:06:48,285
But you didn't know it was a blendings turtle,

1371
01:06:48,825 --> 01:06:50,805
you would submit it and it'd be automatically

1372
01:06:50,845 --> 01:06:52,365
obscured, which is excellent.

1373
01:06:53,305 --> 01:06:56,005
And that's not necessarily true for rare segs

1374
01:06:56,345 --> 01:06:58,325
or kind of obscure plants like that

1375
01:06:58,565 --> 01:06:59,925
'cause they're not necessarily poached

1376
01:07:00,025 --> 01:07:02,445
or sold on the market for a thousand dollars a sedge.

1377
01:07:02,725 --> 01:07:06,645
Right. And so, you know, if you still wanted to obscure

1378
01:07:06,645 --> 01:07:08,565
that rare observation, you could, you know,

1379
01:07:08,565 --> 01:07:10,125
once an identifi came in

1380
01:07:10,125 --> 01:07:11,885
and someone said, oh hey, this is really uncommon,

1381
01:07:12,485 --> 01:07:14,525
then you could choose if you want to obscure it or not.

1382
01:07:24,065 --> 01:07:26,445
You guys are doing great. These are

1383
01:07:26,765 --> 01:07:27,885
really excellent questions.

1384
01:07:28,275 --> 01:07:29,275
Yeah.

1385
01:07:30,315 --> 01:07:33,205
Yeah. Any other questions?

1386
01:07:35,425 --> 01:07:36,915
Nothing. No. Probably day of.

1387
01:07:37,085 --> 01:07:38,795
We'll, we'll we'll see. Yeah.

1388
01:07:39,565 --> 01:07:41,315
Great. Staff has My contact info.

1389
01:07:41,315 --> 01:07:42,315
Steve, you have a wrap? Do you have a wrap up

1390
01:07:42,595 --> 01:07:45,195
presentation or are we done?

1391
01:07:46,215 --> 01:07:48,435
No, no, we're, we're ready to go for the BioBlitz.

1392
01:07:48,435 --> 01:07:50,995
Just get out there and practice if you have time. Right?

1393
01:07:51,015 --> 01:07:53,035
Woohoo. Okay. Great. Alright. Thank you Steve. Thank you.

1394
01:07:54,225 --> 01:07:55,275
That was great. Thank you Steve.

Yeah, it's cool. I didn't know it was gonna be at night.

1399
01:08:03,875 --> 01:08:05,755
That's neat. That's that's cool.

1400
01:08:05,915 --> 01:08:07,035
I didn't know it was gonna be at nighttime.

1401
01:08:07,135 --> 01:08:08,595
Oh, like 24 hours. Yeah. Wow.

1402
01:08:09,255 --> 01:08:10,475

01:08:16,525 --> 01:08:18,045
Right. We'll be from eight to four.

Yeah. You won't be, are night. Yeah. People are encouraged

1407
01:08:22,105 --> 01:08:23,105

Very cool. Can you apply to camp?

1409
01:08:27,545 --> 01:08:30,085
Oh that's a great, okay. We are moving right along.

1410
01:08:30,685 --> 01:08:35,565
Community garden. J has, I think

1411
01:08:36,285 --> 01:08:39,445
J Jay couldn't be here, but I think, I think Beth, I, yeah.

1412
01:08:39,445 --> 01:08:41,405
Beth's frame can back before. Yep. Yeah.

1413
01:08:41,795 --> 01:08:44,445
Well the community garden is in full swing.

1414
01:08:45,495 --> 01:08:49,165
Every plot has been used and is being tended.

1415
01:08:49,785 --> 01:08:52,165
And we had, the

1416
01:08:53,395 --> 01:08:56,205
opening day was May 9th

1417
01:08:56,825 --> 01:08:59,845
and there were 17 people in attendance.

1418
01:09:00,225 --> 01:09:04,525
Wow. Yeah. We had quite a few community gardeners come out

1419
01:09:04,585 --> 01:09:07,445
who wanted to lend a hand with staking

1420
01:09:07,985 --> 01:09:11,325
and Linda brought her delicious baked goods.

1421
01:09:11,425 --> 01:09:15,365
Yep. And it was, it was a great time.

1422
01:09:15,505 --> 01:09:17,485
It was raining the entire time. Yep.

1423
01:09:17,585 --> 01:09:21,805
But we, we powered through and, and it was great.

1424
01:09:23,505 --> 01:09:27,405
Jay did have some photos that he shared on the,

1425
01:09:28,985 --> 01:09:31,805
on the Facebook page for that, on the Facebook group.

1426
01:09:32,025 --> 01:09:34,885
So I'd encourage you to look at some

1427
01:09:34,885 --> 01:09:36,285
of the photos or stop by.

1428
01:09:38,065 --> 01:09:41,085
And he got the results of some soil testing back

1429
01:09:41,085 --> 01:09:43,645
that I think he'll share with you at the next meeting

1430
01:09:43,645 --> 01:09:44,685
that he's able to be at.

1431
01:09:46,585 --> 01:09:48,165
That's all for the community garden.

1432
01:09:51,825 --> 01:09:54,325
And do you wanna talk about Tammy briefly?

1433
01:09:55,875 --> 01:09:57,325
Yeah. Personnel.

1434
01:09:57,445 --> 01:09:59,565
I know very little, but You don't as much as I know,

1435
01:09:59,925 --> 01:10:02,565
Assuming, assuming Tammy's not here tonight, last,

1436
01:10:02,625 --> 01:10:05,885
our last meeting she was in, they were traveling,

1437
01:10:05,945 --> 01:10:07,685
she was indisposed with her, hu her husband

1438
01:10:07,705 --> 01:10:09,085
and he had a medical emergency.

1439
01:10:09,865 --> 01:10:13,005
So I'm assuming if she's not here tonight, so Tammy,

1440
01:10:13,005 --> 01:10:14,925
if you listen, hope, hopefully everything's better

1441
01:10:15,785 --> 01:10:16,805
and we'll see you soon.

1442
01:10:17,785 --> 01:10:20,565
And unfortunately I discovered I had one job from the last

1443
01:10:20,565 --> 01:10:21,565
meeting and I didn't do it.

1444
01:10:23,725 --> 01:10:26,325
I will have information on Beth

1445
01:10:26,385 --> 01:10:29,405
and Tammy's reviews when they should be done.

1446
01:10:29,635 --> 01:10:31,085
I'll, I'll, I have a note

1447
01:10:31,085 --> 01:10:33,725
to call Catherine first thing in the morning in HR

1448
01:10:33,725 --> 01:10:35,645
and we'll get those scheduled within the next month.

1449
01:10:37,815 --> 01:10:39,005
Again, I apologize for that.

1450
01:10:40,955 --> 01:10:42,365
Okay. Thank you Mr. Metz.

1451
01:10:43,505 --> 01:10:48,105
Before we do Eileen's committee, do,

1452
01:10:48,215 --> 01:10:50,345
have we finished up the new name for it yet?

1453
01:10:50,375 --> 01:10:51,625
Yeah, so we,

1454
01:10:51,885 --> 01:10:53,185
So you want to announce what the new name

1455
01:10:53,205 --> 01:10:54,345
for Eileen's committee

1456
01:10:54,345 --> 01:10:55,345
Is?

1457
01:10:55,345 --> 01:10:57,505
So we're gonna go with the Environmental Policy

1458
01:10:57,725 --> 01:10:58,865
and Training Committee.

1459
01:11:00,495 --> 01:11:04,065
Alright. So the, so moving forward, Eileen is going

1460
01:11:04,065 --> 01:11:06,665
to be chairing the Environmental Policy

1461
01:11:07,125 --> 01:11:09,545

1463
01:11:11,465 --> 01:11:15,205
Yeah. All right. What you got Eileen? Okay.

1464
01:11:17,205 --> 01:11:19,245
I did mention a few of these last meeting,

1465
01:11:19,425 --> 01:11:21,605

Thank you Emily. Yep. Property management's quiet, right?

1494
01:12:59,315 --> 01:13:01,725
Nothing going on. Am I missing anything?

1495
01:13:02,825 --> 01:13:06,365
We have that encroachment, but I can cover that in my

1496
01:13:06,595 --> 01:13:07,595
Okay.

1497
01:13:07,595 --> 01:13:08,765
Yeah, so we have the encroachment at

1498
01:13:10,515 --> 01:13:11,965
Doolittle. Is that Doolittle?

1499
01:13:12,395 --> 01:13:14,285
Broadview. Broadview. Oh really?

1500
01:13:14,285 --> 01:13:16,845
Broadview was gonna say that we're working on,

1501
01:13:17,105 --> 01:13:19,605
and Beth was share that during her report.

1502
01:13:21,065 --> 01:13:22,205
And Mr.

1503
01:13:22,525 --> 01:13:24,365
Sper anything on land, what land maintenance,

1504
01:13:24,935 --> 01:13:26,205
other than all the inquiries about,

1505
01:13:26,205 --> 01:13:27,365
I'll be back to, to Beth.

1506
01:13:28,505 --> 01:13:30,525
We have a lot of inquiries about

1507
01:13:35,065 --> 01:13:36,065
Stuff.

1508
01:13:37,095 --> 01:13:39,255
Visually challenged people visiting. Yes. Yeah.

1509
01:13:39,535 --> 01:13:43,775
Visiting Ballard Forest that we've,

1510
01:13:43,775 --> 01:13:45,295
We've, yeah, Ballard State Park,

1511
01:13:45,455 --> 01:13:48,375
I think three different individuals reached out about,

1512
01:13:50,345 --> 01:13:54,135
about having trail accessibility for

1513
01:13:54,895 --> 01:13:56,455
visually impaired people.

1514
01:13:56,475 --> 01:13:59,575
And we've sent them to,

1515
01:14:00,155 --> 01:14:03,295
or you know, we've let them know the appropriate parties

1516
01:14:03,435 --> 01:14:06,695
to contact because, you know,

1517
01:14:06,705 --> 01:14:10,055
dairy Conservation Commission does not manage Ballard State.

1518
01:14:11,225 --> 01:14:12,525
That's a state property.

1519
01:14:12,625 --> 01:14:17,525
So the Urban Forestry Center is who is, who deals with that.

1520
01:14:17,705 --> 01:14:20,885
So we've sent them over to the Urban Forestry Center

1521
01:14:21,115 --> 01:14:22,125
with those inquiries.

1522
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:27,205
But it did, it did kind of trigger a, a conversation

1523
01:14:27,205 --> 01:14:32,005
with Beth and I regarding at some

1524
01:14:32,005 --> 01:14:35,285
point as we, as we, you know,

1525
01:14:35,285 --> 01:14:37,645
kinda relabel our conservation properties, trying

1526
01:14:37,645 --> 01:14:40,165
to identify at least some properties that are

1527
01:14:40,835 --> 01:14:43,005
more appropriate for people that have physical challenges.

1528
01:14:45,145 --> 01:14:47,125
And maybe even have like a rating system

1529
01:14:47,185 --> 01:14:49,245
of some sort saying like, kinda like,

1530
01:14:49,405 --> 01:14:50,525
I think about like skiing, like,

1531
01:14:50,525 --> 01:14:53,045
so you have like a black diamond trail for advanced skiers.

1532
01:14:53,045 --> 01:14:56,685
Right. So, and we, we were talking about Shepherd earlier

1533
01:14:56,705 --> 01:15:00,365
and how, how shepherd's kind of a pretty easy easy property.

1534
01:15:00,365 --> 01:15:01,325
That might be a good one. Yeah. Yeah. 'cause

1535
01:15:01,325 --> 01:15:01,885
that's kind of flat.

1536
01:15:01,885 --> 01:15:03,645
It's got a little incline in the back when it comes up

1537
01:15:03,645 --> 01:15:06,525
to the upper field where like, Cornelius

1538
01:15:06,525 --> 01:15:08,965
and this is a, is a pretty challenging property

1539
01:15:09,065 --> 01:15:10,125
and so, so is Paul.

1540
01:15:11,065 --> 01:15:13,445
So maybe have some sort of grading system that we can,

1541
01:15:14,155 --> 01:15:18,125
that we can put on our properties that people will be able

1542
01:15:18,125 --> 01:15:19,405
to use that maybe aren't,

1543
01:15:19,645 --> 01:15:20,845
that have some challenges getting around.

1544
01:15:20,845 --> 01:15:21,845
It's a great idea. Yeah. So

1545
01:15:21,935 --> 01:15:24,685
Chair, I think, I think when we started talking about

1546
01:15:24,945 --> 01:15:26,845
trails eight or nine months ago, Bob,

1547
01:15:26,845 --> 01:15:30,005
you mentioned the state has trail ratings.

1548
01:15:30,145 --> 01:15:31,605
Am I correct or incorrect about that?

1549
01:15:32,155 --> 01:15:35,765
There's well, coming down through Forest Service

1550
01:15:35,865 --> 01:15:40,245
and everybody else, there is a company that has a system

1551
01:15:40,245 --> 01:15:41,525
that everybody really likes.

1552
01:15:41,665 --> 01:15:43,325
And that's basically what it is.

1553
01:15:43,355 --> 01:15:46,565
Instead of us saying, well, it's a black diamond,

1554
01:15:46,835 --> 01:15:50,605
what you would say is there's this kind of slope, the width

1555
01:15:50,605 --> 01:15:52,125
of the trail, et cetera, et cetera.

1556
01:15:52,125 --> 01:15:54,565
And it's up to you to know what your capabilities are.

1557
01:15:54,825 --> 01:15:57,565
So instead of us saying, well it's probably too rough

1558
01:15:57,565 --> 01:16:00,365
for you, it's like, here's what you're gonna encounter.

1559
01:16:00,665 --> 01:16:02,605
And then if they feel they can do it,

1560
01:16:02,635 --> 01:16:03,725
they can go out and enjoy it.

1561
01:16:03,725 --> 01:16:05,245
Pass, pass your own risk. Is that,

1562
01:16:06,185 --> 01:16:08,445
Is there a, is there like a label of like,

1563
01:16:08,445 --> 01:16:11,085
this is moderately challenging or anything like that?

1564
01:16:13,585 --> 01:16:16,725
Not really. It's, it, it's all pre-done on the sign.

1565
01:16:16,755 --> 01:16:20,085
There's like six parameters that are spell

1566
01:16:20,085 --> 01:16:22,045
that predetermined and you just read 'em

1567
01:16:22,045 --> 01:16:23,925
and know whether you can access it or not.

1568
01:16:24,315 --> 01:16:26,765
Okay. Okay. I think I wanna be a little more

1569
01:16:26,765 --> 01:16:27,965
definitive on our stuff though.

1570
01:16:28,045 --> 01:16:29,285
I think I, I mean, I get that

1571
01:16:29,465 --> 01:16:30,765
and they're, they're, they're kind

1572
01:16:30,765 --> 01:16:32,205
of hedging, I think to not, the,

1573
01:16:32,305 --> 01:16:35,725
The company name is Beneficial Designs

1574
01:16:36,985 --> 01:16:40,045
and they make a machine that you can walk along

1575
01:16:40,265 --> 01:16:42,925
and it's tied to a computer, it does all the measurements

1576
01:16:42,985 --> 01:16:45,165
for you and then plots it out.

1577
01:16:45,625 --> 01:16:46,925
But it gives you, in the end,

1578
01:16:49,155 --> 01:16:53,085
that sign basically there.

1579
01:16:53,235 --> 01:16:55,685
It's really cool company, great stuff.

1580
01:16:57,445 --> 01:17:00,245
I don't believe anybody here in New Hampshire has done it.

1581
01:17:00,365 --> 01:17:03,245
I saw it in practice out in Arizona.

1582
01:17:03,315 --> 01:17:05,965
They were doing a desert trail.

1583
01:17:06,995 --> 01:17:09,885
That one was actually for visually impaired.

1584
01:17:10,545 --> 01:17:15,445
And the whole trail had a rope alongside the hand the side.

1585
01:17:16,065 --> 01:17:20,845
And you go along and on the rope there'd be a knot.

1586
01:17:20,945 --> 01:17:22,685
And then you knew that you could reach out.

1587
01:17:22,825 --> 01:17:27,085
The sign was there. That was both regular text and

1588
01:17:27,785 --> 01:17:29,165
That's Cool that they could feel.

1589
01:17:29,165 --> 01:17:32,605
That's awesome. So yeah, it was a pretty cool design. That's

1590
01:17:32,605 --> 01:17:33,605
Awesome.

1591
01:17:33,605 --> 01:17:34,445
Yeah, I think, you know, we're, we're,

1592
01:17:34,445 --> 01:17:35,685
we're just starting the conversation.

1593
01:17:35,805 --> 01:17:39,965
I think it can be one of our goals as we, as we set goals,

1594
01:17:40,865 --> 01:17:45,325
at least identify a trail, a, a conservation property

1595
01:17:45,325 --> 01:17:46,565
that might be more friendly to

1596
01:17:46,565 --> 01:17:47,605
people that have those challenges.

1597
01:17:49,235 --> 01:17:54,165
Okay. We're moving right along and we have land acquisition.

1598
01:17:54,165 --> 01:17:57,365
We're gonna have a, a discussion about that this evening.

1599
01:17:57,505 --> 01:17:58,965
We have a PowerPoint presentation

1600
01:17:59,225 --> 01:18:02,325
and we're gonna invite Owen to join us in a, in a non-public

1601
01:18:03,025 --> 01:18:06,365
to talk about the properties that we're considering.

1602
01:18:07,215 --> 01:18:08,485
Other thing we're doing is,

1603
01:18:08,765 --> 01:18:11,205
I mentioned earlier we're developing that form letter

1604
01:18:12,225 --> 01:18:16,005
as a solicitation to people that own property in town

1605
01:18:16,005 --> 01:18:18,525
that may be that unaware of the benefits

1606
01:18:18,525 --> 01:18:22,605
of preserving property and working with conservation.

1607
01:18:23,065 --> 01:18:25,045
And we're gonna follow that up with a,

1608
01:18:25,245 --> 01:18:29,165
a public media campaign through social media

1609
01:18:29,345 --> 01:18:30,485
and through dairy tv.

1610
01:18:31,205 --> 01:18:32,445
Just a brief excerpt.

1611
01:18:32,965 --> 01:18:33,965
We were talking about the Shepherd

1612
01:18:34,325 --> 01:18:35,325
property in our pre-meeting.

1613
01:18:36,165 --> 01:18:39,005
Something that looks like, did you know that the, you know,

1614
01:18:39,045 --> 01:18:41,285
a picture of the Shepherd property, maybe the shepherd feel.

1615
01:18:41,285 --> 01:18:42,965
And it would say something like, did you know

1616
01:18:42,965 --> 01:18:44,925
that the Shepherd property was donated to the town

1617
01:18:44,925 --> 01:18:47,485
by the Shepherd family and whenever it was done.

1618
01:18:48,505 --> 01:18:51,685
And just talk about a real brief, what some of the benefits

1619
01:18:51,705 --> 01:18:54,045
of, of, of doing that for the town is.

1620
01:18:54,105 --> 01:18:56,765
And then inviting people to reach out

1621
01:18:56,765 --> 01:18:59,645
to the Conservation Commission email address us,

1622
01:19:02,465 --> 01:19:04,245
you know, to, to move that forward.

1623
01:19:04,345 --> 01:19:07,365
So we'll work on all that stuff. And that, like I said, Mr.

1624
01:19:07,475 --> 01:19:10,245
Mets and I are working on the form letter as it as it gets

1625
01:19:10,845 --> 01:19:12,325
a little bit tighter, we'll share it

1626
01:19:12,325 --> 01:19:14,605
with the whole commission and get thoughts

1627
01:19:14,605 --> 01:19:15,605
and feedback on it.

1628
01:19:18,515 --> 01:19:22,485
Next we have Miss Val reporting compliance

1629
01:19:23,375 --> 01:19:24,805
Compliance, right.

1630
01:19:26,055 --> 01:19:30,205
Sorry, I had something. Okay. Reporting compliance.

1631
01:19:30,545 --> 01:19:34,005
So we had Sam from SE reach out

1632
01:19:34,005 --> 01:19:36,845
to us about monitoring the Dolittle property

1633
01:19:37,605 --> 01:19:40,165
for those unfamiliar that's accessed off of Faith Drive.

1634
01:19:40,195 --> 01:19:42,485
It's roughly a 94 acre property

1635
01:19:43,205 --> 01:19:45,085
with some frontage on Manter Brook.

1636
01:19:45,405 --> 01:19:47,525
Manter Brook primarily feeds in a lot

1637
01:19:47,525 --> 01:19:48,965
of water into Beaver Lake.

1638
01:19:50,145 --> 01:19:52,125
It was named after Albert Doolittle,

1639
01:19:52,125 --> 01:19:54,045
who was a commissioner for 22 years.

1640
01:19:55,665 --> 01:19:58,525
But yeah, so that property is in need of monitoring.

1641
01:19:58,555 --> 01:19:59,685
Salt is in charge of that.

1642
01:19:59,905 --> 01:20:02,205
It was supposed to be done on May 20th,

1643
01:20:02,205 --> 01:20:03,725
however, Sam did have to push it out.

1644
01:20:04,185 --> 01:20:06,965
I'm planning on being there in attendance

1645
01:20:07,345 --> 01:20:09,885
for this upcoming Wednesday is when we had

1646
01:20:10,445 --> 01:20:14,125
possibly sent it out for, yeah.

1647
01:20:14,305 --> 01:20:16,725
And I sent that over to the rest of the commission,

1648
01:20:16,965 --> 01:20:19,245
the committee too, that, that way they can stay in the loop.

1649
01:20:20,585 --> 01:20:21,845
And that's all for reporting compliance.

1650
01:20:23,855 --> 01:20:26,485
Thank you Val. And you have Net zero also?

1651
01:20:26,915 --> 01:20:29,325
Yeah, so going into the net zero task force,

1652
01:20:29,395 --> 01:20:31,245
they're still going on looking

1653
01:20:31,345 --> 01:20:32,885
for a community power provider.

1654
01:20:33,565 --> 01:20:35,965
They're working with Mike Fowler for a request for proposal

1655
01:20:36,105 --> 01:20:37,405
for the supplier for that.

1656
01:20:37,745 --> 01:20:39,645
The Net zero task force still does have their

1657
01:20:39,645 --> 01:20:41,205
recommendation, but they do have to go

1658
01:20:41,205 --> 01:20:42,325
through the RFP process.

1659
01:20:43,885 --> 01:20:46,445
Another thing they're working toward is the hybridization

1660
01:20:46,705 --> 01:20:47,885
of municipal fleet.

1661
01:20:48,105 --> 01:20:49,805
We had 10 hybrid patrol cars

1662
01:20:49,905 --> 01:20:51,805
become functional a few weeks ago.

1663
01:20:52,525 --> 01:20:54,485
The task force is going to be waiting about two

1664
01:20:54,485 --> 01:20:56,805
to three months to be taking data from the computers in

1665
01:20:56,805 --> 01:20:58,765
those vehicles to determine their efficiency in the

1666
01:20:58,765 --> 01:21:00,845
savings for the town.

1667
01:21:01,825 --> 01:21:04,165
And then we also just had some brief discussions

1668
01:21:04,805 --> 01:21:07,885
getting some of their input from the CWPP, especially

1669
01:21:07,885 --> 01:21:10,765
as it's coming to a close, making sure nothing's missing,

1670
01:21:11,485 --> 01:21:12,645
crossing t's dotting i's

1671
01:21:13,785 --> 01:21:16,485
and they're continuing to keep an eye on legislation as some

1672
01:21:16,485 --> 01:21:18,405
of the building codes and IECC things.

1673
01:21:18,465 --> 01:21:21,085
So I've continued to be tabled and pushed along.

1674
01:21:21,865 --> 01:21:23,405
And that's all for net zero Task force.

1675
01:21:26,055 --> 01:21:31,005
Thank you. Val, we skipped over Cheryl? Yes.

1676
01:21:31,105 --> 01:21:34,245
Oh, I'm sorry. No, my fault. No, I I just plowed through.

1677
01:21:34,385 --> 01:21:35,525
No, I I'm taking the wrap for

1678
01:21:35,525 --> 01:21:40,205
it for public outreach. Cheryl. Yeah.

1679
01:21:40,415 --> 01:21:42,005
Great. So we, it was a very,

1680
01:21:42,005 --> 01:21:44,725
it was actually very busy a couple of weeks.

1681
01:21:45,945 --> 01:21:47,245
Eileen and Beth were at,

1682
01:21:47,265 --> 01:21:49,045
what's the scoop at the Marion garish

1683
01:21:49,305 --> 01:21:51,205
and talking up the BioBlitz

1684
01:21:51,265 --> 01:21:53,285
and there's really been a lot of good buzz about that.

1685
01:21:53,395 --> 01:21:56,645
Also on Facebook. We've actually grown quite a bit.

1686
01:21:56,645 --> 01:21:58,485
We've at least doubled since we started

1687
01:21:59,355 --> 01:22:00,805
putting more effort into that.

1688
01:22:00,905 --> 01:22:02,405
The amount of followers on Facebook.

1689
01:22:02,405 --> 01:22:05,485
And there's been some wonderful engaging posts mostly

1690
01:22:05,705 --> 01:22:08,845
by Beth and Linda with all kinds

1691
01:22:08,845 --> 01:22:10,285
of very interesting content there.

1692
01:22:10,625 --> 01:22:13,485
And including tonight's iNaturalist training that was

1693
01:22:14,025 --> 01:22:15,085
posted as well.

1694
01:22:16,545 --> 01:22:18,365
Two dates if you'd like to put on your calendar.

1695
01:22:18,485 --> 01:22:20,285
I think they're really gonna be a lot of fun is

1696
01:22:20,285 --> 01:22:21,485
that we are confirmed

1697
01:22:21,825 --> 01:22:23,925
for a table at the dairy farmer's market.

1698
01:22:23,925 --> 01:22:27,685
Dairy Homegrown on, it's a Wednesday, August 12th.

1699
01:22:28,645 --> 01:22:30,885
I plan on being there. I'm not gonna be bringing my baked

1700
01:22:30,885 --> 01:22:34,165
goods that week, but I will be at the table

1701
01:22:34,545 --> 01:22:36,365
and we'll have some interesting things going on.

1702
01:22:36,455 --> 01:22:39,085
We'll meet as a committee beforehand and plan all of that.

1703
01:22:39,985 --> 01:22:43,285
And we are also confirmed for Dairy Fest,

1704
01:22:43,855 --> 01:22:46,645
which is September 19th from 10 to four.

1705
01:22:47,225 --> 01:22:50,045
So, and we can certainly use volunteers and the commission.

1706
01:22:50,095 --> 01:22:51,445
It'll be really a lot of fun.

1707
01:22:51,825 --> 01:22:55,325
And again, those dates are Wednesday, August 12th,

1708
01:22:55,505 --> 01:22:56,525
that's three to seven.

1709
01:22:56,785 --> 01:22:59,245
The market time and Dairy Fest.

1710
01:22:59,425 --> 01:23:02,165
We will be there September 19th from 10 to four.

1711
01:23:03,115 --> 01:23:05,685
Awesome. Are you passing out like referential like

1712
01:23:05,965 --> 01:23:08,005
materials, some of the things that we've been doing

1713
01:23:08,005 --> 01:23:09,605
and stuff, like what kind of help are you looking

1714
01:23:09,665 --> 01:23:10,805
for for those events?

1715
01:23:11,675 --> 01:23:13,485
Well, to be a presence. Yeah.

1716
01:23:13,485 --> 01:23:15,125
To be a presence, you know, at the table.

1717
01:23:15,385 --> 01:23:17,645
And bet's been wonderful working with

1718
01:23:17,645 --> 01:23:19,285
and designing materials to pass out.

1719
01:23:19,355 --> 01:23:21,445
Okay. And kind of answer questions that there might be.

1720
01:23:21,965 --> 01:23:23,005
I think the dairy

1721
01:23:24,325 --> 01:23:25,885
farmer's market would be a little different.

1722
01:23:25,885 --> 01:23:27,885
That could be something that could have some engaging,

1723
01:23:28,035 --> 01:23:30,325
like identifying plants or things for like children.

1724
01:23:30,715 --> 01:23:32,965
Yeah. So any suggestions you have that you want

1725
01:23:32,965 --> 01:23:36,405
to email about that ahead of time, that would give us time

1726
01:23:36,625 --> 01:23:38,125
to, you know, gather what we need.

1727
01:23:38,305 --> 01:23:40,045
And certainly if you have an interest in that

1728
01:23:40,065 --> 01:23:42,405
and engaging in that, that would be great.

1729
01:23:42,915 --> 01:23:43,925
Yeah. Thank you.

1730
01:23:45,225 --> 01:23:47,085
Be, do you want to do like a signup sheet

1731
01:23:47,105 --> 01:23:48,125
for both of those events?

1732
01:23:48,515 --> 01:23:50,445
Send it out to commission to commissioners

1733
01:23:50,545 --> 01:23:54,925
and try to get some commitments for times

1734
01:23:55,105 --> 01:23:56,845
and stuff like that because that's a long,

1735
01:23:57,115 --> 01:23:58,645
it's like an eight hour day.

1736
01:23:58,705 --> 01:24:01,685
So we split the work up a little bit. We always did it.

1737
01:24:01,685 --> 01:24:03,125
Different kinds of shifts, kind

1738
01:24:03,125 --> 01:24:04,485
of two hour shifts and stuff like that.

1739
01:24:04,785 --> 01:24:05,785
Yep.

1740
01:24:07,115 --> 01:24:09,125
Okay. TRCs,

1741
01:24:10,635 --> 01:24:12,485
TRCs, we skip everything.

1742
01:24:12,665 --> 01:24:15,285
Yep. I need a new optometrist. Yeah. Yeah.

1743
01:24:16,685 --> 01:24:18,285
I only had, you know one. No,

1744
01:24:18,805 --> 01:24:19,805
I don't either.

1745
01:24:19,805 --> 01:24:21,005
He's cute but he's not good. Thanks.

1746
01:24:23,765 --> 01:24:25,725
I only had one TRC since our last meeting.

1747
01:24:26,045 --> 01:24:27,045
It was this past Friday.

1748
01:24:27,705 --> 01:24:32,285
It concerned some lot line adjustments up at Denali Estates.

1749
01:24:32,305 --> 01:24:35,845
So it, it was already approved plan as one

1750
01:24:35,845 --> 01:24:37,685
of the people said it's just messing with lines.

1751
01:24:38,705 --> 01:24:41,645
So that was all we, I have that was all for that one.

1752
01:24:41,645 --> 01:24:43,245
Didn't have any other input.

1753
01:24:43,855 --> 01:24:47,845
There are two more coming up next, two consecutive Fridays.

1754
01:24:48,865 --> 01:24:51,445
One is a two acre, a two large subdivision.

1755
01:24:51,945 --> 01:24:54,085
And I can't remember what the, the next one is,

1756
01:24:54,105 --> 01:24:56,645
but I'll make sure I come in and look at the plans

1757
01:24:56,785 --> 01:24:59,325
and let you folks know if they have to come.

1758
01:25:00,085 --> 01:25:02,605
Denali had already been here 'cause it's phase four.

1759
01:25:03,485 --> 01:25:07,765
They are starting phase five and six, so they'll be

1760
01:25:07,765 --> 01:25:10,045
before us in the next few months.

1761
01:25:10,145 --> 01:25:14,965
And that's where the bulk of our cash money has come from

1762
01:25:15,045 --> 01:25:17,285
because a lot of that land up there was in current use.

1763
01:25:18,185 --> 01:25:20,125
So as they develop those pieces of property,

1764
01:25:20,125 --> 01:25:22,365
the current use money gets paid to us.

1765
01:25:22,595 --> 01:25:25,245
Yeah. Every time they sell a, every time they sell a lot

1766
01:25:25,265 --> 01:25:26,685
or a home there, we get a check,

1767
01:25:27,455 --> 01:25:28,455
Which is kind of nice.

1768
01:25:28,455 --> 01:25:29,325
That's all I have, Mr. Chair.

1769
01:25:30,535 --> 01:25:33,685
Thank you. Okay.

1770
01:25:33,915 --> 01:25:35,645
Beth, we have you LA in a report.

1771
01:25:36,465 --> 01:25:39,085
All right. I'm over here 'cause I just have some visuals

1772
01:25:39,145 --> 01:25:43,445
for you all that I'll refer to when we need to.

1773
01:25:44,545 --> 01:25:47,205
So, but the first thing is a couple of votes.

1774
01:25:47,505 --> 01:25:51,045
So one is you all need

1775
01:25:51,045 --> 01:25:55,205
to vote on paying Noah $450

1776
01:25:55,425 --> 01:25:57,965
for tilling the community garden this year.

1777
01:25:58,465 --> 01:26:02,725
He also helped us move a lot of the manure over there

1778
01:26:02,785 --> 01:26:04,165
and like spread that out.

1779
01:26:04,265 --> 01:26:05,365
So that was very helpful.

1780
01:26:06,345 --> 01:26:07,925
So we'll take those up as, as they,

1781
01:26:07,925 --> 01:26:09,245
you might as well just take them up as you go. Do

1782
01:26:09,245 --> 01:26:10,485
We have an invoice for that? Beth?

1783
01:26:10,865 --> 01:26:12,325
Say that again? Do we have an invoice

1784
01:26:12,465 --> 01:26:13,805
yet from Noah for that?

1785
01:26:15,665 --> 01:26:18,565
That's a good question because

1786
01:26:18,615 --> 01:26:19,615
We're gonna pay 'em.

1787
01:26:19,615 --> 01:26:20,605
We need it. We need that.

1788
01:26:20,785 --> 01:26:23,085
Yes. I I believe if we don't have an invoice

1789
01:26:23,285 --> 01:26:24,325
I can get one from him.

1790
01:26:24,555 --> 01:26:26,045
Okay, good. Can I get his last name? You

1791
01:26:26,045 --> 01:26:27,045
Need a vote for it?

1792
01:26:27,045 --> 01:26:28,365
Yeah. Noah's last name.

1793
01:26:28,945 --> 01:26:31,285
Noah's last name. I don't know Noah's last name.

1794
01:26:31,355 --> 01:26:32,565
It's Noah's Tractor service.

1795
01:26:32,925 --> 01:26:33,965
I don't wanna pay any off.

1796
01:26:34,145 --> 01:26:36,045
You know, I wanna pay the right Noah. Yeah, yeah,

1797
01:26:36,235 --> 01:26:37,235
Yeah.

1798
01:26:37,235 --> 01:26:37,525
Right.

1799
01:26:37,865 --> 01:26:40,045
Noah's tractor service Building a boat, right?

1800
01:26:40,405 --> 01:26:42,165
C is The, is the business name.

1801
01:26:42,385 --> 01:26:44,925
So Noah's tractor service. Noahs tractor service.

1802
01:26:45,075 --> 01:26:47,445
Okay. Alright. So we'll, we'll take 'em as they go.

1803
01:26:47,445 --> 01:26:49,205
As they come. Yeah. Is that okay? Okay. Alright.

1804
01:26:49,665 --> 01:26:54,525
So I moved to approve paying Noah's tractor service $450

1805
01:26:54,545 --> 01:26:56,285
for tilling the funds to be taken out

1806
01:26:56,285 --> 01:26:57,285
of the preservation account.

1807
01:26:58,895 --> 01:27:02,045
First. First by Mr. Metz. We have a second by Cheryl.

1808
01:27:02,585 --> 01:27:07,125
All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? Abstentions.

1809
01:27:07,125 --> 01:27:08,645
That motion carries unanimously.

1810
01:27:10,225 --> 01:27:12,605
And you're gonna get Eileen an invoice for that, please?

1811
01:27:12,605 --> 01:27:13,805
Yes. Yes. Okay.

1812
01:27:14,785 --> 01:27:19,445
And then we have, so there's a

1813
01:27:20,205 --> 01:27:23,685
$13,000 account for

1814
01:27:24,875 --> 01:27:26,805
stewardship of the Cornelius

1815
01:27:26,825 --> 01:27:30,205
and property that we did some digging to find out

1816
01:27:30,235 --> 01:27:32,045
what we're able to use those funds for.

1817
01:27:32,265 --> 01:27:37,165
So some earlier funds that you've already voted on

1818
01:27:37,265 --> 01:27:39,925
and have already been taken care of.

1819
01:27:40,025 --> 01:27:41,885
But I spoke

1820
01:27:41,885 --> 01:27:45,005
with Mark Fleischer in the finance department about

1821
01:27:45,105 --> 01:27:48,805
how we can have the, the tree filling

1822
01:27:48,835 --> 01:27:50,525
that we had at Cornelius in

1823
01:27:50,745 --> 01:27:55,085
and the expense for conservation grass seed mix

1824
01:27:55,085 --> 01:27:59,005
that we had spread at Cornelius in can be, we can use

1825
01:27:59,005 --> 01:28:00,365
that account for those.

1826
01:28:00,705 --> 01:28:03,285
So he just needs a vote on the record

1827
01:28:04,155 --> 01:28:07,725
that you all would like to use those funds

1828
01:28:08,645 --> 01:28:09,845
to cover those expenses.

1829
01:28:10,225 --> 01:28:12,045
And Mr. Mets, before you do that, just

1830
01:28:12,045 --> 01:28:13,405
so people understand what that is.

1831
01:28:13,405 --> 01:28:16,445
So we have a specific $13,000 pot of money

1832
01:28:16,955 --> 01:28:19,925
that was allocated when we got the Cornelson property

1833
01:28:20,115 --> 01:28:22,365
that can only be used for the maintenance of

1834
01:28:22,365 --> 01:28:23,565
that Cornelson property.

1835
01:28:23,865 --> 01:28:25,365
So it's important for us to spend

1836
01:28:25,365 --> 01:28:26,445
that money when we're using that

1837
01:28:26,565 --> 01:28:28,765
'cause we're not, we don't do a lot of expending.

1838
01:28:28,765 --> 01:28:30,165
And it was, it was

1839
01:28:30,165 --> 01:28:32,885
because of Beth that we found out in our,

1840
01:28:32,905 --> 01:28:36,525
in our new meetings with, with the town finance folks we're,

1841
01:28:36,525 --> 01:28:37,925
we're discovering stuff as we go.

1842
01:28:38,845 --> 01:28:40,485
And that this is one of those discoveries.

1843
01:28:40,485 --> 01:28:42,085
So, so we're gonna

1844
01:28:42,605 --> 01:28:44,605
reallocate the funds have already been approved,

1845
01:28:45,425 --> 01:28:48,205
we just need to reallocate that those funds are going to be

1846
01:28:50,675 --> 01:28:54,645
allocated to that Cornelius account.

1847
01:28:54,935 --> 01:28:57,005
Right. Well, and those minutes, so those

1848
01:28:57,005 --> 01:28:59,445
Bills have already been like when you gave them

1849
01:28:59,445 --> 01:29:00,605
to me, I I Right.

1850
01:29:00,635 --> 01:29:03,245
Processed them and sent them in to the town.

1851
01:29:03,305 --> 01:29:04,565
So they're already in Yep.

1852
01:29:04,895 --> 01:29:06,965
Where were those funds taken from originally?

1853
01:29:08,525 --> 01:29:11,925
'cause what we're doing is voting a transfer. Right?

1854
01:29:12,285 --> 01:29:15,445
13 $1,460 from the coordination fund to

1855
01:29:16,945 --> 01:29:18,525
as a reimbursement. Right. So

1856
01:29:18,525 --> 01:29:19,525
It's, I have to look

1857
01:29:19,565 --> 01:29:22,045
Up what we originally said we were gonna take 'em out of.

1858
01:29:22,085 --> 01:29:23,605
I Mark doesn't need that. But

1859
01:29:23,845 --> 01:29:24,845
Doesn't Okay.

1860
01:29:25,875 --> 01:29:29,525
What Mark needs is minutes saying that we we're allocating

1861
01:29:30,225 --> 01:29:32,245
the 1460 that we already spent

1862
01:29:32,545 --> 01:29:35,645
and we want those, those funds to be allocated

1863
01:29:35,645 --> 01:29:38,485
to the Cornelius and maintenance right account.

1864
01:29:39,145 --> 01:29:41,005
We need, we need an motion it sounds like that.

1865
01:29:42,635 --> 01:29:47,285
Okay. I move to approve taking 1300 for tree felling

1866
01:29:47,285 --> 01:29:49,685
and 160 for conservation grass seed

1867
01:29:51,545 --> 01:29:53,525
for those things done at the Cornelius

1868
01:29:53,525 --> 01:29:57,645
and Farm out of the Cornelius and stewardship account.

1869
01:29:58,245 --> 01:29:59,965
Previously dispersed funds, Mr. Mess. Yeah.

1870
01:30:00,185 --> 01:30:01,405
Yep. Previously dispersed

1871
01:30:01,405 --> 01:30:02,405
Funds.

1872
01:30:02,405 --> 01:30:03,045
What was the amount for the grass seed again?

1873
01:30:03,385 --> 01:30:05,485
TH one 60 for the grass seed. Okay.

1874
01:30:05,655 --> 01:30:09,205
Which there's a motion on on the floor to as an accounting

1875
01:30:09,865 --> 01:30:13,365
change to allocate

1876
01:30:14,575 --> 01:30:17,325
those funds previously dispersed

1877
01:30:17,505 --> 01:30:19,485
to the Eson maintenance fund.

1878
01:30:20,425 --> 01:30:21,425
Is there a second?

1879
01:30:22,385 --> 01:30:25,365
Second. Okay. This is a first by Mr. Mets.

1880
01:30:25,365 --> 01:30:28,565
I second by Commissioner Val. All those in favor say aye.

1881
01:30:28,825 --> 01:30:31,245
Aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? Abstentions.

1882
01:30:31,245 --> 01:30:32,405
Motion carries unanimously.

1883
01:30:32,405 --> 01:30:34,165
Thank you Beth Key, continue. Great. Great.

1884
01:30:35,065 --> 01:30:37,645
And then just an update on the CWPP.

1885
01:30:37,825 --> 01:30:41,525
So since our last meeting, that first draft was completed

1886
01:30:41,585 --> 01:30:44,525
by the core team and it's currently being reviewed

1887
01:30:44,525 --> 01:30:47,965
by the fire chief and when he is done reviewing it,

1888
01:30:47,965 --> 01:30:50,125
it's gonna move on to the next step of review

1889
01:30:51,065 --> 01:30:52,845
by other officials in town

1890
01:30:55,905 --> 01:30:57,965
the mike.

1891
01:30:58,145 --> 01:31:02,445
So through working with John Neely for the CWPP,

1892
01:31:02,625 --> 01:31:06,925
he put us in touch with Mike Gagnan at the UNH extension

1893
01:31:08,105 --> 01:31:12,645
and he, the forester who has offered

1894
01:31:12,665 --> 01:31:15,325
to attend a future meeting to discuss the process

1895
01:31:15,465 --> 01:31:18,525
of creating a forest management plan with us.

1896
01:31:19,285 --> 01:31:22,405
'cause we don't currently have a forest management plan in

1897
01:31:22,405 --> 01:31:26,845
place for, there was the process started

1898
01:31:26,945 --> 01:31:29,405
of putting together forest management plan

1899
01:31:29,405 --> 01:31:30,765
for a number of our properties.

1900
01:31:31,625 --> 01:31:35,765
But he said that he can come do that if we decide to do

1901
01:31:35,765 --> 01:31:36,845
that at a future meeting.

1902
01:31:37,545 --> 01:31:40,285
He can't create the forest management plan for us,

1903
01:31:40,465 --> 01:31:43,285
but he can help guide us through the process of that.

1904
01:31:44,885 --> 01:31:46,485
So he reached out to us.

1905
01:31:47,825 --> 01:31:49,805
And then for the bio blitz,

1906
01:31:49,945 --> 01:31:54,805
so we have six individuals signed up so far for 13 sessions.

1907
01:31:55,525 --> 01:31:57,325
'cause there's four sessions throughout the day.

1908
01:31:57,325 --> 01:31:59,750
So six individuals have already signed up

1909
01:32:00,265 --> 01:32:04,765
and I pressed this button I think.

1910
01:32:07,045 --> 01:32:08,865
Yay. Okay, great.

1911
01:32:10,045 --> 01:32:13,785
Oh no. Okay, hang on. There we go.

1912
01:32:15,335 --> 01:32:19,265
Okay. So I just wanted

1913
01:32:19,265 --> 01:32:22,625
to bring up this QR code so that anybody watching at home

1914
01:32:23,445 --> 01:32:26,745
can sign up via the QR code there

1915
01:32:27,845 --> 01:32:28,985
for the BioBlitz.

1916
01:32:29,005 --> 01:32:30,705
So that is where you would sign up.

1917
01:32:31,325 --> 01:32:33,825
We also have posters printed for that.

1918
01:32:34,325 --> 01:32:36,745
And I would, I have a list of places

1919
01:32:37,055 --> 01:32:39,465
that have bulletin boards, like places around town

1920
01:32:39,855 --> 01:32:42,425
that allow you to hang posters either in their windows

1921
01:32:42,685 --> 01:32:44,025
or on bulletin boards.

1922
01:32:44,885 --> 01:32:48,105
So just see me after the meeting to grab some posters

1923
01:32:48,325 --> 01:32:50,305
and sign your name on that so

1924
01:32:50,305 --> 01:32:52,305
that we don't have overlap people going to the same place.

1925
01:32:54,805 --> 01:32:59,385
And then we also heard from Matt Tar from UNH extension,

1926
01:32:59,825 --> 01:33:03,905
Barbara from N-H-A-C-C put us in touch with him

1927
01:33:04,045 --> 01:33:06,945
and he would like to lead a walk at Broadview on

1928
01:33:07,265 --> 01:33:10,905
September 18th at 4:00 PM That would be a follow up

1929
01:33:10,905 --> 01:33:14,705
to the BioBlitz we in,

1930
01:33:14,725 --> 01:33:16,865
in discussing in the land maintenance committee

1931
01:33:17,385 --> 01:33:21,665
earlier this year, one of the volunteers, Karen,

1932
01:33:21,885 --> 01:33:26,745
who volunteered on that committee, not as a commissioner,

1933
01:33:26,765 --> 01:33:28,345
but just as a volunteer, mentioned

1934
01:33:28,345 --> 01:33:31,825
that September is a really good time to visit Broadview

1935
01:33:31,845 --> 01:33:33,545
and see the flowers in bloom

1936
01:33:33,845 --> 01:33:36,065
and things have kind, you know, the foliage is a really

1937
01:33:36,745 --> 01:33:38,385
beautiful color at that point.

1938
01:33:38,645 --> 01:33:41,865
So we're planning a walk at Broadview

1939
01:33:42,945 --> 01:33:44,465
September 18th at 4:00 PM

1940
01:33:45,245 --> 01:33:46,905
Is that a Friday, Beth? It's a Friday.

1941
01:33:47,335 --> 01:33:49,065
That is I believe a Friday. Yes.

1942
01:33:52,005 --> 01:33:54,505
And then also with broad view.

1943
01:33:54,765 --> 01:33:57,665
So I'll bring my second visual up here.

1944
01:33:59,205 --> 01:34:01,705
So we have some, this is the,

1945
01:34:01,935 --> 01:34:04,655
oops, sorry.

1946
01:34:05,145 --> 01:34:06,535
Lemme just bring it up again.

1947
01:34:15,475 --> 01:34:18,135
Second reason why I am up here instead

1948
01:34:18,135 --> 01:34:19,135
of over there tonight,

1949
01:34:20,115 --> 01:34:21,175
How long do you use your foot?

1950
01:34:22,705 --> 01:34:23,705
Okay.

1951
01:34:29,265 --> 01:34:32,845
All right. So we have a few

1952
01:34:33,705 --> 01:34:38,005
no trespassing signs that were brought

1953
01:34:38,005 --> 01:34:40,085
to the attention by a resident.

1954
01:34:40,395 --> 01:34:41,445
Were brought to our attention

1955
01:34:43,185 --> 01:34:44,685
by a former commissioner actually.

1956
01:34:45,265 --> 01:34:48,085
And the red dots are

1957
01:34:48,085 --> 01:34:52,285
where the no trespassing signs were found on broad view.

1958
01:34:52,285 --> 01:34:54,085
This is a map of broad view, huh.

1959
01:34:55,145 --> 01:34:58,245
And we, or

1960
01:34:59,175 --> 01:35:01,925
after speaking with Bob about this as far as what

1961
01:35:01,925 --> 01:35:04,205
to do about the no trespassing signs, you know,

1962
01:35:04,205 --> 01:35:08,325
since we've seen that these, at least these four here

1963
01:35:09,505 --> 01:35:12,525
are in, are well within the bounds of the property.

1964
01:35:13,425 --> 01:35:15,725
We should be able to remove them

1965
01:35:16,225 --> 01:35:18,125
and we can keep them in case the owner

1966
01:35:18,145 --> 01:35:19,805
of them comes looking for them.

1967
01:35:20,865 --> 01:35:25,605
But we have sent out two communications so far to the owner

1968
01:35:25,625 --> 01:35:29,005
of this property right here that is privately owned property

1969
01:35:29,005 --> 01:35:30,645
with the conservation easement on it.

1970
01:35:30,745 --> 01:35:32,885
And his name

1971
01:35:33,465 --> 01:35:36,045
was on the no trespassing signs here.

1972
01:35:36,275 --> 01:35:40,765
Paul Arba. So I,

1973
01:35:41,225 --> 01:35:43,125
you all just need to vote to,

1974
01:35:44,545 --> 01:35:47,285
to have me take the signs down.

1975
01:35:48,825 --> 01:35:51,085
We would keep the, this one

1976
01:35:51,625 --> 01:35:55,405
and this one, we would not remove these two since they are

1977
01:35:55,655 --> 01:35:58,205
right on the, on the boundary line.

1978
01:35:59,185 --> 01:36:03,485
But this boundary here is actually a stonewall.

1979
01:36:04,085 --> 01:36:06,925
So it's very clear where the boundary is

1980
01:36:07,305 --> 01:36:11,045
and it's very clear that these no trespassing signs are

1981
01:36:11,675 --> 01:36:15,525
well within the bounds of, of the town owned property.

1982
01:36:17,955 --> 01:36:20,655
So just, just as a heads up,

1983
01:36:20,655 --> 01:36:22,215
this isn't the first time we've had this

1984
01:36:23,785 --> 01:36:25,415
issue issue on that property.

1985
01:36:25,595 --> 01:36:28,015
Yep. So the motion would look,

1986
01:36:28,025 --> 01:36:31,535
would sound something like authorizing the land manager

1987
01:36:31,795 --> 01:36:33,215
to remove the signs

1988
01:36:36,525 --> 01:36:38,775
that are not on the boundary lines,

1989
01:36:39,075 --> 01:36:43,855
but inside the property into preserve those signs

1990
01:36:45,035 --> 01:36:48,895
for six months.

1991
01:36:49,015 --> 01:36:50,015
Something like that.

1992
01:36:50,955 --> 01:36:52,135
Can I just ask a question? Of course.

1993
01:36:52,495 --> 01:36:55,375
I was just, just clarification, is that an abutter that is

1994
01:36:56,135 --> 01:36:57,975
putting up no trespassing sign,

1995
01:36:58,755 --> 01:37:02,615
but it's actually on the conservation property. So

1996
01:37:02,615 --> 01:37:03,895
It's allegedly the abutter.

1997
01:37:03,895 --> 01:37:05,895
We, we we're, we're okay. We don't know,

1998
01:37:05,995 --> 01:37:07,815
But sometimes these signs appear in places

1999
01:37:08,115 --> 01:37:09,535
and we don't exactly know.

2000
01:37:09,595 --> 01:37:10,735
But No, I mean, and,

2001
01:37:10,735 --> 01:37:13,615
and the, the purpose being that sort of blaming it

2002
01:37:13,615 --> 01:37:16,775
for a different, just a little confused.

2003
01:37:17,115 --> 01:37:18,215
So, and just to clarify,

2004
01:37:18,445 --> 01:37:22,055
because on no trespassing signs, you have to have a, a name

2005
01:37:22,315 --> 01:37:23,775
and address on the sign.

2006
01:37:24,115 --> 01:37:26,695
Huh? I don't believe that there's an address,

2007
01:37:26,795 --> 01:37:28,855
but there is the name Paul Zba.

2008
01:37:29,165 --> 01:37:30,495
Okay. Is is on that.

2009
01:37:30,675 --> 01:37:33,895
And that is the owner of this, of this property here.

2010
01:37:33,965 --> 01:37:35,015
Okay. Thank you.

2011
01:37:35,085 --> 01:37:37,415
That doesn't mean that Paul Zba put his

2012
01:37:37,415 --> 01:37:38,495
name on that sign Right.

2013
01:37:38,495 --> 01:37:39,895
And put the sign up. Sure, sure.

2014
01:37:40,035 --> 01:37:41,375
But someone put up a sign

2015
01:37:41,375 --> 01:37:43,135
that says Paul zba on a tree. Sure.

2016
01:37:43,135 --> 01:37:45,855
Yeah. And also I feel like important context which we had

2017
01:37:46,355 --> 01:37:49,175
is there's the, the trail that comes up, that's the,

2018
01:37:49,285 --> 01:37:52,655
it's a really narrow, isn't it just the trail

2019
01:37:52,655 --> 01:37:54,495
that exists there for access.

2020
01:37:55,025 --> 01:37:58,325
So it's like basically just the trail to get in, get

2021
01:37:58,325 --> 01:38:00,005
to broad view and then you're in broad view.

2022
01:38:00,145 --> 01:38:03,165
But they're Right. The signs along the trail against

2023
01:38:03,165 --> 01:38:04,925
that property, which is,

2024
01:38:04,995 --> 01:38:06,645
That was an easement that was granted

2025
01:38:06,705 --> 01:38:09,645
to us a long time ago. By Mr. Zaba.

2026
01:38:09,755 --> 01:38:11,165
Yeah. By Mr. Zaba. Yeah. Okay.

2027
01:38:12,025 --> 01:38:15,285
But I, people should be allowed to walk in there.

2028
01:38:15,595 --> 01:38:16,765
Just that narrow path.

2029
01:38:17,155 --> 01:38:19,685
Yeah. So again, we're not, we're not proposing

2030
01:38:19,865 --> 01:38:22,525
to remove this no trespassing sign Right.

2031
01:38:22,665 --> 01:38:26,725
Or this one because neither of them seem to be like they're,

2032
01:38:26,725 --> 01:38:30,645
they're placed in such a way that, you know, it's not trying

2033
01:38:30,645 --> 01:38:33,405
to keep people out from accessing that trail

2034
01:38:33,505 --> 01:38:34,765
or getting into broad view.

2035
01:38:34,765 --> 01:38:36,685
Okay. Is that's very important. It's, it's placed in a way

2036
01:38:36,685 --> 01:38:39,085
that's trying to prevent people from going into,

2037
01:38:39,275 --> 01:38:42,205
from the trail here into the field.

2038
01:38:42,495 --> 01:38:44,885
Right. So as you're walking along,

2039
01:38:44,985 --> 01:38:49,605
the no trespassing sign is facing into broad view to try

2040
01:38:49,605 --> 01:38:51,245
to stop people from,

2041
01:38:51,875 --> 01:38:54,285
from going over the line over to the field.

2042
01:38:54,715 --> 01:38:57,365
It's not necessarily like discouraging people from

2043
01:38:57,365 --> 01:38:58,485
coming into broad Exactly.

2044
01:38:58,575 --> 01:39:00,925
Might the way it's positioned. Correct. Right.

2045
01:39:00,955 --> 01:39:03,805
It's not sort of an ominous, like no. Okay. 'cause

2046
01:39:03,805 --> 01:39:04,845
That's really important. So

2047
01:39:04,955 --> 01:39:05,955
Yeah.

2048
01:39:06,225 --> 01:39:10,845
So we already have sent letters one letter or two letters.

2049
01:39:11,025 --> 01:39:12,325
Two letters. Yep. Okay.

2050
01:39:13,525 --> 01:39:14,845
Alerting him to the fact

2051
01:39:14,845 --> 01:39:17,125
that we don't believe they're on the property line. Yep.

2052
01:39:17,275 --> 01:39:18,685
Yeah. With

2053
01:39:19,395 --> 01:39:21,605
When they're removed, I, I would

2054
01:39:22,265 --> 01:39:23,805
ask him if he wants the signs back.

2055
01:39:24,515 --> 01:39:26,525
Okay. So send another letter asking if

2056
01:39:26,525 --> 01:39:27,965
he would like them back. Yeah.

2057
01:39:27,965 --> 01:39:29,725
And say they we will, we will hold them

2058
01:39:29,745 --> 01:39:31,285
for a period of six months. Right. Okay.

2059
01:39:31,395 --> 01:39:33,205
Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

2060
01:39:33,265 --> 01:39:36,285
So with all this information I'd like to make a motion then

2061
01:39:36,705 --> 01:39:38,485
to authorize Beth, the land manager

2062
01:39:38,665 --> 01:39:40,525
to remove those four signs

2063
01:39:41,435 --> 01:39:43,365
that we have identified within the

2064
01:39:43,725 --> 01:39:44,765
boundary lines of the property.

2065
01:39:44,945 --> 01:39:49,205
And to take, I mean, did I just reverse that? No,

2066
01:39:49,205 --> 01:39:50,165
You did good three. Keep going.

2067
01:39:50,625 --> 01:39:52,805
Oh, okay. I thought I just said the signs in reverse.

2068
01:39:52,965 --> 01:39:54,485
I authorized land the land manager

2069
01:39:54,545 --> 01:39:58,245
to remove the two unauthorized four fudge.

2070
01:39:58,445 --> 01:39:59,725
I had to write the first time you did

2071
01:39:59,785 --> 01:40:02,165
to remove the four authorized unauthorized signs,

2072
01:40:03,105 --> 01:40:04,285
no trespassing signs

2073
01:40:04,285 --> 01:40:06,765
that are within the boundaries of the property.

2074
01:40:08,235 --> 01:40:11,925
Sending a notification letter to the possible abutter

2075
01:40:11,925 --> 01:40:13,965
who may have put the signs up that we would hold the signs

2076
01:40:13,985 --> 01:40:16,285
for a period of six months for them to retrieve them.

2077
01:40:17,025 --> 01:40:18,365
That's a great motion. Sorry.

2078
01:40:19,655 --> 01:40:21,405
Great job down. I

2079
01:40:21,405 --> 01:40:23,205
Shouldn't have second guessed myself. Second

2080
01:40:24,165 --> 01:40:25,165
In the middle there.

2081
01:40:25,165 --> 01:40:26,485
Second that one. Amazing.

2082
01:40:26,485 --> 01:40:28,285
I think I didn't want a third on that one.

2083
01:40:28,285 --> 01:40:32,605
That's a, I'll second the first half. That's a good motion.

2084
01:40:33,555 --> 01:40:36,765
Alright, so we have a first by commissioner Val,

2085
01:40:37,605 --> 01:40:39,045
second by Commissioner Cheryl.

2086
01:40:39,595 --> 01:40:43,765
Alls in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? Abstentions. Unanimous.

2087
01:40:43,995 --> 01:40:46,765
Nice work. What else you got? What else you got Beth?

2088
01:40:46,945 --> 01:40:49,125
All right, great. So then we have,

2089
01:40:49,945 --> 01:40:51,725
oh I gotta find my mouse here.

2090
01:40:52,665 --> 01:40:54,845
The Margaret Dives conservation land.

2091
01:40:55,145 --> 01:40:58,805
So the sign there at the trail head was leaning

2092
01:40:59,625 --> 01:41:02,045
and we reached out to DPW

2093
01:41:02,625 --> 01:41:05,605
and they very kindly straightened it out for us

2094
01:41:06,045 --> 01:41:08,085
and they also freshened up the white paint

2095
01:41:08,085 --> 01:41:09,165
that was making the letters.

2096
01:41:10,145 --> 01:41:11,325
And so I will,

2097
01:41:12,355 --> 01:41:13,525
Yeah, I was there recently

2098
01:41:13,525 --> 01:41:15,485
and it looks good. I can vouch for

2099
01:41:15,485 --> 01:41:20,085
That and I'll just bring up a visual since I'm here.

2100
01:41:20,795 --> 01:41:23,925
Yeah, I saw the picture of it. Oh

2101
01:41:24,365 --> 01:41:25,365
I posted today.

2102
01:41:25,365 --> 01:41:29,645
Yeah. Woo. So, so that's just a photo of the,

2103
01:41:30,065 --> 01:41:34,085
the trailhead that is currently in place

2104
01:41:34,865 --> 01:41:36,765
and that was the post

2105
01:41:36,765 --> 01:41:38,685
that Linda made tonight about our meeting.

2106
01:41:40,385 --> 01:41:45,205
And my next visual is I reached out

2107
01:41:45,265 --> 01:41:47,565
to three different Boy Scout troops

2108
01:41:50,065 --> 01:41:53,685
in asking if there are any Eagle Scouts

2109
01:41:53,825 --> 01:41:58,205
or you know, Eagle Scout hopefuls who would like

2110
01:41:58,305 --> 01:41:59,965
to assist us with

2111
01:42:00,845 --> 01:42:03,205
creating a new trail head kiosk since this one,

2112
01:42:03,205 --> 01:42:05,525
as you can see is kind of in rough shape.

2113
01:42:05,715 --> 01:42:09,885
Yeah. And I sent along this publication to them just

2114
01:42:09,885 --> 01:42:14,605
to give them an idea of, of what we're looking for.

2115
01:42:16,345 --> 01:42:20,245
So if you all have a preference

2116
01:42:20,585 --> 01:42:22,005
of the type of kiosk.

2117
01:42:22,005 --> 01:42:24,685
Right. So here's one that has a cover

2118
01:42:26,185 --> 01:42:28,045
and then they have other,

2119
01:42:28,225 --> 01:42:31,325
and this is I think 2010 money.

2120
01:42:34,065 --> 01:42:35,405
So twice That, yeah.

2121
01:42:36,825 --> 01:42:39,405
Fix That. But just to give you an idea, I know

2122
01:42:39,405 --> 01:42:42,005
that they usually help with fundraising for these things.

2123
01:42:43,075 --> 01:42:44,925
They sometimes idea's

2124
01:42:44,925 --> 01:42:45,845
Donated too. So

2125
01:42:46,405 --> 01:42:47,405
Yeah.

2126
01:42:48,425 --> 01:42:52,485
So they, they have the two designs, one with that has a,

2127
01:42:52,805 --> 01:42:54,685
a cover a, a roof on it

2128
01:42:55,305 --> 01:42:56,645
and then another

2129
01:42:57,435 --> 01:43:01,565
that is more so like this,

2130
01:43:02,265 --> 01:43:03,405
That's what turn It.

2131
01:43:03,945 --> 01:43:06,325
But yeah. So very similar to what's there

2132
01:43:06,355 --> 01:43:07,405
that doesn't have a roof

2133
01:43:07,465 --> 01:43:10,965
or really like a, you know, it would just have the, the name

2134
01:43:11,105 --> 01:43:14,205
of the, of the land without really much room for,

2135
01:43:16,105 --> 01:43:19,245
you know, for placing information and whatnot.

2136
01:43:20,815 --> 01:43:25,095
So if you all have any feedback on that as far as

2137
01:43:28,085 --> 01:43:31,855
what you would like to communicate to them as far as like

2138
01:43:31,855 --> 01:43:33,415
what kind of trailhead we would like,

2139
01:43:35,315 --> 01:43:36,965
then you can send that along.

2140
01:43:39,935 --> 01:43:42,445
Let's, why don't we wait for a reply from them. Sure.

2141
01:43:42,545 --> 01:43:44,485
And then we'll take that up at the next meeting.

2142
01:43:44,645 --> 01:43:46,045
I like the ones with the roofs on 'em.

2143
01:43:46,045 --> 01:43:47,285
I feel like we should, yeah we should probably

2144
01:43:47,315 --> 01:43:48,525
like broad view look a little better.

2145
01:43:48,575 --> 01:43:51,405
Angry. Go with those moving forward. Hope

2146
01:43:51,445 --> 01:43:52,445
I didn't mess anything up.

2147
01:43:52,755 --> 01:43:54,525
Okay. It's coming back. I think

2148
01:43:55,905 --> 01:43:57,325
Owen's. Owen's coming.

2149
01:43:58,115 --> 01:43:59,005
Okay. Sorry.

2150
01:44:03,635 --> 01:44:07,205
Okay, so last little bit is,

2151
01:44:09,505 --> 01:44:10,965
so a correspondence.

2152
01:44:10,965 --> 01:44:12,645
We got a woman

2153
01:44:12,785 --> 01:44:15,885
who reached out asking if it would be possible

2154
01:44:15,885 --> 01:44:19,165
to have a sign put up on Hampstead Road warning

2155
01:44:19,185 --> 01:44:20,405
of Turtles crossing.

2156
01:44:21,065 --> 01:44:23,045
So right

2157
01:44:23,045 --> 01:44:28,025
where Cunningham Brook crosses over Hampstead Road.

2158
01:44:28,055 --> 01:44:31,465
Yeah. She said that she's observed some turtles being run

2159
01:44:31,465 --> 01:44:33,065
over by vehicles

2160
01:44:33,405 --> 01:44:35,385
and you know, just reached out saying

2161
01:44:36,215 --> 01:44:37,825
what can we do if there's anything

2162
01:44:37,825 --> 01:44:39,425
that we can do about that. So,

2163
01:44:39,885 --> 01:44:42,465
And she helped one And she helped one cross the

2164
01:44:42,465 --> 01:44:44,025
road and she helped cross her road. Really?

2165
01:44:44,245 --> 01:44:46,385
Oh awesome. Yeah. And she stopped and helped.

2166
01:44:46,845 --> 01:44:49,705
That's awesome. Which is, you know what, you're not supposed

2167
01:44:49,705 --> 01:44:51,345
to touch wildlife but in like that case,

2168
01:44:51,525 --> 01:44:52,985
if there's a turtle on the road Right.

2169
01:44:53,135 --> 01:44:55,265
Help it or at least stop your car

2170
01:44:55,265 --> 01:44:56,745
and let it get across before someone else.

2171
01:44:56,965 --> 01:44:59,065
But always help the turtle go in the

2172
01:44:59,065 --> 01:45:00,425
direction it's wanting to go.

2173
01:45:00,975 --> 01:45:02,705
Like if you find it in the middle of the road

2174
01:45:03,445 --> 01:45:04,745
and it's heading this way.

2175
01:45:05,095 --> 01:45:07,385
Yeah. Send 'em that way. Put it over on that side,

2176
01:45:07,765 --> 01:45:09,865
not don't take it back to the other side.

2177
01:45:10,225 --> 01:45:11,305
'cause it, it's very important

2178
01:45:11,585 --> 01:45:15,185
'cause turtles have a pattern every year that they follow

2179
01:45:15,835 --> 01:45:18,865
going back to where they were originally born. In fact. So

2180
01:45:19,495 --> 01:45:21,425
Beth, I think you crashed the entire I know.

2181
01:45:21,605 --> 01:45:23,705
I'm so sorry. I just unplugged it. I'm

2182
01:45:23,705 --> 01:45:26,905
Like crash municipal center

2183
01:45:27,455 --> 01:45:28,825
mainframe. I thought

2184
01:45:28,985 --> 01:45:29,985
I had it.

2185
01:45:29,985 --> 01:45:31,345
I thought I had it down at this point I'm like okay,

2186
01:45:31,375 --> 01:45:33,585
plug it in, push the button, I got this. I get it

2187
01:45:33,585 --> 01:45:35,425
Mean the whole mainframe's now for the state.

2188
01:45:35,585 --> 01:45:38,225
I think on a lighter, no Beth, if

2189
01:45:38,225 --> 01:45:40,705
We put crossing signs up, can we get the turtles

2190
01:45:40,705 --> 01:45:42,545
to use the flashers? Yeah.

2191
01:45:42,545 --> 01:45:45,025
Because humans, Humans definitely don't.

2192
01:45:45,425 --> 01:45:48,185
I know, right. Okay. This was a funny discussion.

2193
01:45:48,185 --> 01:45:51,105
So this, this came through my email, I sent it to Beth

2194
01:45:51,105 --> 01:45:52,225
and I'm like, I don't even know where to begin.

2195
01:45:52,225 --> 01:45:53,465
Where do you get fur? First of all,

2196
01:45:53,465 --> 01:45:54,825
where do you get turtle crossing signs?

2197
01:45:55,205 --> 01:45:56,505
Second He put 'em up.

2198
01:45:56,855 --> 01:45:59,185
I've seen them too, but he puts 'em up to town or the state.

2199
01:45:59,565 --> 01:46:01,945
So I'm curious to hear what you found out.

2200
01:46:02,095 --> 01:46:05,825
Well we have, I, I haven't found out much besides a name

2201
01:46:05,885 --> 01:46:07,745
and number of the person who does know.

2202
01:46:07,845 --> 01:46:08,745
So we're waiting to hear

2203
01:46:08,745 --> 01:46:09,865
back, waiting to hear from that person.

2204
01:46:10,465 --> 01:46:11,785
Absolutely. But at least we are in touch

2205
01:46:11,785 --> 01:46:14,065
with the right person who deals with that kind of stuff.

2206
01:46:14,165 --> 01:46:17,905
And when I, I did reach out to New Hampshire, DOT was the,

2207
01:46:18,405 --> 01:46:19,905
the entity to reach out to

2208
01:46:20,405 --> 01:46:23,185
and they knew exactly where to send me to him.

2209
01:46:23,325 --> 01:46:26,225
So it sounds like this is not, you know, a question

2210
01:46:26,225 --> 01:46:28,745
that nobody knows the answer to this is they do,

2211
01:46:28,745 --> 01:46:29,985
they know what to do, they answer. Yeah.

2212
01:46:30,565 --> 01:46:32,465
It seems to me from a public outreach standpoint,

2213
01:46:32,465 --> 01:46:34,145
like you could really kind of talk turtles

2214
01:46:34,735 --> 01:46:36,825
like at dairy farmer's market at,

2215
01:46:37,085 --> 01:46:39,705
at these two events we're talking about at Dairy Fest, like,

2216
01:46:39,865 --> 01:46:42,385
I don't know, like redesigned, put a turtle on a t-shirt,

2217
01:46:42,385 --> 01:46:43,905
have some kind of turtle activity thing

2218
01:46:44,205 --> 01:46:45,945
and appeal to like kids with turtles.

2219
01:46:45,945 --> 01:46:47,505
It's a really popular subject

2220
01:46:47,885 --> 01:46:49,765
and just kind of raise turtle awareness.

2221
01:46:49,825 --> 01:46:51,925
So at the very least if like this word of mouth,

2222
01:46:51,925 --> 01:46:53,285
people are a little more aware

2223
01:46:53,865 --> 01:46:55,485
and you know, if they see a turtle.

2224
01:46:55,765 --> 01:46:57,445
'cause it may just be something that's not on people's

2225
01:46:57,445 --> 01:46:59,245
radars, but it's a really fun

2226
01:46:59,425 --> 01:47:03,805
and accessible animal creature to raise awareness generally.

2227
01:47:04,065 --> 01:47:05,565
So that may be something we can discuss.

2228
01:47:05,705 --> 01:47:06,685
And there is that could be new,

2229
01:47:06,685 --> 01:47:07,885
could be really fun Turtle rescue

2230
01:47:07,885 --> 01:47:08,885
Organization.

2231
01:47:08,885 --> 01:47:11,765
Yeah. And I got a newsletter from them the other day, so,

2232
01:47:12,025 --> 01:47:13,725
so did I That's important to share.

2233
01:47:13,795 --> 01:47:14,565
Yeah, like little turtle

2234
01:47:14,765 --> 01:47:16,085
tchotchkes at the farmer's market.

2235
01:47:16,365 --> 01:47:17,965
Really. I mean turtle. Turtle.

2236
01:47:17,985 --> 01:47:19,485
And then they get around and people know what they are

2237
01:47:19,505 --> 01:47:20,925
and then we, we hide 'em in places

2238
01:47:20,925 --> 01:47:21,925
and we put 'em on Facebook

2239
01:47:21,985 --> 01:47:25,405
and it, it would just be a fun like a little campaign there

2240
01:47:25,405 --> 01:47:27,445
that can just by word of mouth raise awareness

2241
01:47:27,585 --> 01:47:29,285
and could make a difference. Yep.

2242
01:47:30,075 --> 01:47:31,325
Huge difference. And I'm sure there's other places

2243
01:47:31,325 --> 01:47:33,925
that we could identify that probably need a similar sign.

2244
01:47:33,985 --> 01:47:36,525
So this is a good road to go down. Yeah,

2245
01:47:36,525 --> 01:47:37,525
Definitely.

2246
01:47:38,185 --> 01:47:41,685
And the last thing is that there was a GIS tools

2247
01:47:41,685 --> 01:47:43,605
for identifying wetlands training

2248
01:47:44,505 --> 01:47:49,365
and I do have a link to the recording for that

2249
01:47:49,385 --> 01:47:50,605
and the passcode to it.

2250
01:47:50,665 --> 01:47:53,605
So if anybody would like to watch it, just reach out to me

2251
01:47:53,665 --> 01:47:56,445
and I can send you the link and the passcode.

2252
01:47:57,195 --> 01:47:58,195
That is all.

2253
01:47:59,955 --> 01:48:01,405
Okay. Any questions for Beth?

2254
01:48:03,235 --> 01:48:05,285
That little a round of applause for Beth. I know, right?

2255
01:48:06,025 --> 01:48:09,205
Wow. Nice work. Beth.

2256
01:48:11,745 --> 01:48:13,885
We, I I think there's, there's a mistake here.

2257
01:48:14,185 --> 01:48:16,845
Are we not meeting June 15th? I feel like we're not. Huh?

2258
01:48:17,405 --> 01:48:18,725
I don't think we are. We are. Yes

2259
01:48:18,725 --> 01:48:19,725
We are.

2260
01:48:19,725 --> 01:48:20,685
Oh we are. Yeah we are.

2261
01:48:21,405 --> 01:48:22,725
I know. I thought that that was,

2262
01:48:24,045 --> 01:48:25,125
I thought we had one meeting in

2263
01:48:25,125 --> 01:48:27,085
June, but I might be wrong.

2264
01:48:28,105 --> 01:48:30,565
Oh. 'cause I can't do the 15th

2265
01:48:30,785 --> 01:48:31,885
and I thought you couldn't neither.

2266
01:48:32,425 --> 01:48:33,765
Is that true? Look,

2267
01:48:34,865 --> 01:48:38,645
No, that was May, so May 18th we didn't have a meeting.

2268
01:48:38,645 --> 01:48:40,925
Right. And that was because neither of you could do it.

2269
01:48:40,925 --> 01:48:44,725
Right. And I do remember thinking when we scheduled two

2270
01:48:44,805 --> 01:48:48,805
meetings in June, are we only supposed to have one in June?

2271
01:48:48,865 --> 01:48:51,085
And brought it up and confirmed

2272
01:48:51,085 --> 01:48:52,605
that there are supposed to be two meetings.

2273
01:48:52,845 --> 01:48:53,685
Supposed to be two in June. Yeah. Yeah.

2274
01:48:53,805 --> 01:48:55,485
I think July and August. The only ones we do

2275
01:48:55,485 --> 01:48:56,485
One.

2276
01:48:56,485 --> 01:48:57,845
Yes. Wait, can we confirm those dates, dates while we're

2277
01:48:57,845 --> 01:48:58,845
Here?

2278
01:48:58,845 --> 01:49:01,365
I can't do the, the 13th one is at if necessary.

2279
01:49:01,465 --> 01:49:04,085
So we're only gonna meet on July 13th.

2280
01:49:04,745 --> 01:49:05,925
Oh really? Okay. So

2281
01:49:06,185 --> 01:49:08,645
If necessary not the sixth, if we have a site plan review.

2282
01:49:08,775 --> 01:49:13,725
Right. Or we have business necessary that we have to meet,

2283
01:49:14,345 --> 01:49:16,205
But we're not gonna meet June 15th.

2284
01:49:16,765 --> 01:49:18,605
The June 15th. Think we have to decide tonight.

2285
01:49:18,685 --> 01:49:22,165
I am not available June 15th. I am available. So Mr. Mr.

2286
01:49:22,275 --> 01:49:24,245
Metz wants to have a meeting. We can keep it on the agenda

2287
01:49:25,305 --> 01:49:26,765
and, and it sounds like he's available

2288
01:49:26,865 --> 01:49:28,005
so we're gonna keep it on the agenda.

2289
01:49:28,005 --> 01:49:32,365
Okay. Alright. So June 15th is a yes with Mets. Yep.

2290
01:49:32,955 --> 01:49:36,045
That we do not have a Owen meeting that night, right?

2291
01:49:36,475 --> 01:49:39,245
Correct. We do have a Owen meeting on

2292
01:49:41,365 --> 01:49:43,535
July 13th if we're gonna have the meeting though.

2293
01:49:44,045 --> 01:49:46,495
Okay. Got it. That so you guys can decide that on the 15th.

2294
01:49:47,485 --> 01:49:48,845
I might be able to, I might be available

2295
01:49:48,945 --> 01:49:50,125
via Zoom on the 15th.

2296
01:49:50,785 --> 01:49:54,925
So I'll try to attend via Zoom as a,

2297
01:49:54,925 --> 01:49:56,445
as a commissioner though, not as the chair.

2298
01:49:56,445 --> 01:49:57,445
Don't trust.

2299
01:49:59,385 --> 01:50:02,045
So I had some stuff with the mission

2300
01:50:02,305 --> 01:50:04,445
and like guide handbook project

2301
01:50:04,625 --> 01:50:06,725
and I was hoping I was actively

2302
01:50:06,725 --> 01:50:08,765
before this meeting, crafting an email to send to

2303
01:50:09,445 --> 01:50:10,525
everyone for the materials.

2304
01:50:10,785 --> 01:50:13,325
Should I hold on those until after those if

2305
01:50:13,625 --> 01:50:15,565
No, let's, let's bring that up on other business.

2306
01:50:16,095 --> 01:50:18,845
Let's bring it up now in a second. Okay. Yeah.

2307
01:50:20,795 --> 01:50:24,325
Getting, just, just I want to, I want to whittle down on,

2308
01:50:24,385 --> 01:50:26,285
on the meeting so everyone has those meetings.

2309
01:50:26,345 --> 01:50:27,725
The 13th is if necessary

2310
01:50:28,425 --> 01:50:30,525
and then the rest of them are get 'em.

2311
01:50:30,645 --> 01:50:32,285
I want everybody to kinda get 'em in their calendar

2312
01:50:32,285 --> 01:50:34,485
because we only have one meeting

2313
01:50:34,905 --> 01:50:36,605
and I, I wanna make sure we have people here.

2314
01:50:36,665 --> 01:50:39,285
So get get those meetings in your calendar please.

2315
01:50:42,745 --> 01:50:44,805
And then for other business we will start with Val.

2316
01:50:45,715 --> 01:50:47,845
Okay. Right now. Okay. One second. Let me open it.

2317
01:50:47,965 --> 01:50:52,445
I wasn't ready for this. I'd had

2318
01:50:54,835 --> 01:50:57,315
A document with some questions

2319
01:50:57,415 --> 01:51:00,195
and things kind of just to get some discussions started.

2320
01:51:00,395 --> 01:51:01,755
I know that I've met

2321
01:51:01,755 --> 01:51:04,395
with some people individually in the past just to kind

2322
01:51:04,395 --> 01:51:06,195
of get to know you, your background

2323
01:51:06,295 --> 01:51:07,475
and some things that kind of pulled

2324
01:51:07,475 --> 01:51:08,555
you to this line of work.

2325
01:51:09,615 --> 01:51:14,075
But in the sense of really refining or, you know, drafting

2326
01:51:14,075 --> 01:51:16,075
and refining and kind of going through these, you know,

2327
01:51:16,075 --> 01:51:17,075
mission statement, that's something

2328
01:51:17,075 --> 01:51:18,315
that should be collaborative.

2329
01:51:18,415 --> 01:51:20,595
So I wanted to make sure that whatever I was doing

2330
01:51:21,335 --> 01:51:23,035
wasn't just a one-sided thing.

2331
01:51:23,035 --> 01:51:25,595
You know, this is something that we should all have part in

2332
01:51:25,755 --> 01:51:28,195
defining as it's something that we all are striving toward.

2333
01:51:30,155 --> 01:51:31,315
I have this document, I don't,

2334
01:51:31,515 --> 01:51:33,515
I can't like put it up on the screen or anything.

2335
01:51:35,835 --> 01:51:39,795
I have some drafts here and then I can send it out.

2336
01:51:39,795 --> 01:51:42,635
Otherwise I can try putting it up on the screen.

2337
01:51:42,725 --> 01:51:45,715
Maybe with Owen's help. Yes. Okay.

2338
01:51:46,175 --> 01:51:48,995
Oh yes, for the win. And

2339
01:51:49,115 --> 01:51:52,115
I have a conversion 'cause my laptop is a C,

2340
01:51:52,295 --> 01:51:52,795
Not an A

2341
01:52:01,465 --> 01:52:05,715
have I don't have an hd, other A No.

2342
01:52:06,105 --> 01:52:09,595
Dang dang it. We can't put it on the thing. Do

2343
01:52:09,595 --> 01:52:10,595
You wanna email it to me?

2344
01:52:10,785 --> 01:52:11,915
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

2345
01:52:11,915 --> 01:52:12,915
Yeah.

2346
01:52:12,915 --> 01:52:14,675
Okay. Sorry everyone that we're like,

2347
01:52:15,075 --> 01:52:16,195
I wasn't prepared for this.

2348
01:52:16,775 --> 01:52:18,155
I'm just gonna send this, just talk

2349
01:52:18,155 --> 01:52:19,155
Amongst yourselves.

2350
01:52:20,085 --> 01:52:21,335
Beth, ignore the rest of this email

2351
01:52:21,335 --> 01:52:22,375
since it's already drafted.

2352
01:52:22,395 --> 01:52:24,855
I'm just sending it to you with the, with the file attached.

2353
01:52:24,965 --> 01:52:25,965
Okay.

2354
01:52:33,585 --> 01:52:35,055
Thank you. A lifesaver.

2355
01:52:35,125 --> 01:52:39,695
Yeah, I'll just put my laptop here so you can, yeah.

2356
01:52:40,125 --> 01:52:41,815
Okay. Hopefully I don't break it again.

2357
01:52:41,885 --> 01:52:44,215
Note to self get an HDMI conversion. Yeah.

2358
01:52:47,115 --> 01:52:48,115
Okay.

2359
01:53:00,595 --> 01:53:00,935
As well.

2360
01:53:10,235 --> 01:53:11,695
All right, well disorienting.

2361
01:53:11,695 --> 01:53:14,735
You gotta like look up there. It's not gonna be on

2362
01:53:14,735 --> 01:53:15,735
The screen.

2363
01:53:15,735 --> 01:53:16,405
Yeah, that's right.

2364
01:53:18,695 --> 01:53:21,195
You can see my self energy.

2365
01:53:22,505 --> 01:53:24,755
Okay. There we go. Thanks man. Yeah.

2366
01:53:25,585 --> 01:53:27,275
Okay, so this is just the document

2367
01:53:27,275 --> 01:53:29,595
that I was planning on sending out to you guys kind of just

2368
01:53:29,595 --> 01:53:31,995
to create, get some talking points going

2369
01:53:31,995 --> 01:53:33,075
and getting everyone's different

2370
01:53:33,075 --> 01:53:34,315
perspectives and thoughts on this.

2371
01:53:35,495 --> 01:53:37,955
So just some guiding questions while building this.

2372
01:53:38,155 --> 01:53:41,035
I thought of the purpose, mission, and vision statement.

2373
01:53:41,035 --> 01:53:42,435
While they all do seem the same

2374
01:53:42,635 --> 01:53:43,635
and it might be overkill

2375
01:53:43,635 --> 01:53:44,875
developing them all at the same time.

2376
01:53:44,945 --> 01:53:46,555
They are all different.

2377
01:53:46,735 --> 01:53:49,835
And help us define some of the work that we do in the scope

2378
01:53:49,835 --> 01:53:50,915
of our responsibilities.

2379
01:53:51,775 --> 01:53:53,275
So some guiding questions for the purpose.

2380
01:53:53,575 --> 01:53:55,395
Why does the conservation commission exist

2381
01:53:55,455 --> 01:53:59,035
beyond the responsibilities assigned by RSA 36 A?

2382
01:54:00,425 --> 01:54:02,835
Just in response to this question, something that came up

2383
01:54:02,835 --> 01:54:05,475
for me was really that community piece.

2384
01:54:05,495 --> 01:54:07,715
So a lot of things RSA is really definitive.

2385
01:54:07,735 --> 01:54:09,795
You know, these are the lands, you protect them, this is

2386
01:54:09,795 --> 01:54:11,115
how, this is how you manage the funds.

2387
01:54:11,115 --> 01:54:12,435
That kind of stuff is defined there.

2388
01:54:13,035 --> 01:54:15,035
But that's something that I kind of thought of that it,

2389
01:54:15,055 --> 01:54:17,755
you know, is something that we, as a purpose why we exist

2390
01:54:17,755 --> 01:54:20,155
to engage the community and connect them in nature.

2391
01:54:20,215 --> 01:54:21,955
You know, some things that were just touched on in our,

2392
01:54:21,955 --> 01:54:22,995
I naturalists, you know, the

2393
01:54:22,995 --> 01:54:24,155
purpose for these kinds of events.

2394
01:54:26,465 --> 01:54:29,115
What is a unique, what unique role does the Conservation

2395
01:54:29,115 --> 01:54:30,795
Commission play within the town of dairy?

2396
01:54:31,135 --> 01:54:32,395
I'm just gonna blast through these.

2397
01:54:33,115 --> 01:54:36,035
If the concert conservation commission did not exist,

2398
01:54:36,425 --> 01:54:37,475
what would the town lose?

2399
01:54:37,695 --> 01:54:38,835
And I personally thought that

2400
01:54:38,835 --> 01:54:40,035
that was a, would be quite a lot.

2401
01:54:42,065 --> 01:54:45,635
Some more things including, you know, some central things

2402
01:54:45,775 --> 01:54:46,875
for the mission statement.

2403
01:54:46,875 --> 01:54:48,075
Again, these were all just questions

2404
01:54:48,075 --> 01:54:50,035
that I'd been asking myself leading up to this.

2405
01:54:50,815 --> 01:54:54,235
And it kind of got me to these three statements here.

2406
01:54:55,335 --> 01:54:57,315
The purpose literally just describing our purpose

2407
01:54:57,575 --> 01:55:00,115
as authorized under RSA 36 A.

2408
01:55:00,215 --> 01:55:02,555
The Conservation Commission exists to ensure

2409
01:55:02,555 --> 01:55:04,075
that dairy's natural resources

2410
01:55:04,135 --> 01:55:06,435
and open spaces are not only protected today,

2411
01:55:06,735 --> 01:55:08,235
but stewarded understood

2412
01:55:08,335 --> 01:55:10,635
and strengthened for the benefit of future generations.

2413
01:55:11,135 --> 01:55:12,675
That's pretty, pretty straightforward.

2414
01:55:12,815 --> 01:55:17,075
And you know, the RSA and a little bit expanded on mission

2415
01:55:17,095 --> 01:55:19,275
and vision is where I kind of started building off of

2416
01:55:20,495 --> 01:55:23,195
the Dairy Conservation Commission promotes the identity

2417
01:55:23,955 --> 01:55:26,995
resilience and environmental health of the community

2418
01:55:26,995 --> 01:55:29,715
through the protection of, through the protection,

2419
01:55:29,825 --> 01:55:34,155
stewardship, and expansion of open spaces, natural resources

2420
01:55:34,455 --> 01:55:38,595
and conservation lands supported by education, advocacy,

2421
01:55:38,735 --> 01:55:40,075
and community collaboration.

2422
01:55:41,935 --> 01:55:43,205
So that's kind of, you know, what we do,

2423
01:55:43,205 --> 01:55:45,645
what we're striving towards, these are the things that kind

2424
01:55:45,645 --> 01:55:48,725
of, we put all together that we all bring to the table.

2425
01:55:48,755 --> 01:55:51,165
Each piece of us, you know, kind of builds on this mission.

2426
01:55:52,345 --> 01:55:54,005
And the vision's a little bit different from that.

2427
01:55:54,085 --> 01:55:55,725
A little bit more loosey goosey, a vision,

2428
01:55:55,885 --> 01:55:57,005
a dream of what we would like.

2429
01:55:57,225 --> 01:55:59,325
So our vision is dairy will be a community

2430
01:55:59,355 --> 01:56:03,045
with a lasting legacy of conservation where forests,

2431
01:56:03,205 --> 01:56:05,765
wetlands, waterways, wildlife habitats

2432
01:56:05,765 --> 01:56:08,765
and open spaces are recognized as essential

2433
01:56:08,785 --> 01:56:10,805
to the town's character, environmental,

2434
01:56:10,805 --> 01:56:12,285
health and quality of life.

2435
01:56:12,725 --> 01:56:15,295
Through informed stewardship, community engagement,

2436
01:56:15,295 --> 01:56:17,175
and long-term commitment to conservation.

2437
01:56:17,545 --> 01:56:20,695
These resources will remain protected, resilient,

2438
01:56:20,835 --> 01:56:22,935
and valued by future generations.

2439
01:56:24,165 --> 01:56:26,225
So these were kind of the statements that I kind

2440
01:56:26,225 --> 01:56:27,705
of drafted up from those questions

2441
01:56:27,765 --> 01:56:30,625
and kind of from some of these themes, I kind

2442
01:56:30,625 --> 01:56:33,225
of pulled these, I did a little ethnography on some of our

2443
01:56:33,775 --> 01:56:36,505
conversations and these were some themes that I kind

2444
01:56:36,505 --> 01:56:38,185
of pulled from and wanted to make sure

2445
01:56:38,185 --> 01:56:39,225
that they were addressed

2446
01:56:39,405 --> 01:56:42,425
or mentioned in some way of, in these statements.

2447
01:56:44,405 --> 01:56:46,945
But this is definitely something that I would love

2448
01:56:47,055 --> 01:56:49,145
that we all need to collaborate on

2449
01:56:49,145 --> 01:56:50,945
and make sure that, you know, we all align

2450
01:56:50,945 --> 01:56:52,665
with these statements as a commission.

2451
01:56:53,325 --> 01:56:55,665
You know, I know Rick was saying if we were gonna do this,

2452
01:56:55,665 --> 01:56:56,985
we wanted to keep it short and sweet

2453
01:56:56,985 --> 01:56:58,145
and I feel like some of these were

2454
01:56:58,145 --> 01:56:59,305
maybe have been a mouthful.

2455
01:56:59,605 --> 01:57:01,025
No, that's something I was thinking of.

2456
01:57:01,025 --> 01:57:03,385
No, I think they're good. I think good next steps would be

2457
01:57:03,385 --> 01:57:06,305
get get it out to the commissioners and Yeah.

2458
01:57:06,305 --> 01:57:07,985
Solicit feedback. Yeah.

2459
01:57:07,985 --> 01:57:09,185
And we'll, we'll whittle it down

2460
01:57:09,205 --> 01:57:10,505
and maybe tweak it a little bit.

2461
01:57:10,505 --> 01:57:11,985
Yeah. That way we can give some thoughtful input.

2462
01:57:12,135 --> 01:57:13,345
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

2463
01:57:13,345 --> 01:57:14,785
But it looks good. Good start. Yeah. Yeah.

2464
01:57:14,805 --> 01:57:15,865
So I'll get this sent.

2465
01:57:15,945 --> 01:57:17,225
I know Beth already has the whole email,

2466
01:57:17,245 --> 01:57:18,345
but I'll get it sent out.

2467
01:57:18,345 --> 01:57:20,065
That way everyone can read it over and stuff.

2468
01:57:20,645 --> 01:57:24,425
And along with this, I have been working on, especially

2469
01:57:24,425 --> 01:57:27,105
with some of our new conservation commissioners, I mean,

2470
01:57:27,125 --> 01:57:30,265
it was a resource I had started when I had joined was kind

2471
01:57:30,265 --> 01:57:33,025
of like a guidebook to accompany the N-H-A-C-C guidebook.

2472
01:57:33,025 --> 01:57:35,225
Something that was a little bit more specific toward dairy,

2473
01:57:35,365 --> 01:57:37,825
our processes, our specific subcommittees

2474
01:57:37,825 --> 01:57:39,465
and things as they differ between towns.

2475
01:57:40,125 --> 01:57:41,665
And I was hoping to send out, you know,

2476
01:57:42,095 --> 01:57:45,225
it's a larger thing than this of course, so I couldn't go

2477
01:57:45,225 --> 01:57:46,865
through it now, but send it out to you guys,

2478
01:57:46,965 --> 01:57:48,305
get some experience from,

2479
01:57:48,805 --> 01:57:50,665
get some input from experience commissioners.

2480
01:57:50,665 --> 01:57:52,985
People have been doing this for some time, some

2481
01:57:52,985 --> 01:57:54,025
of our new commissioners.

2482
01:57:54,145 --> 01:57:56,305
I know that there's a lot to come in on this

2483
01:57:56,325 --> 01:57:58,025
and if you've had questions this time

2484
01:57:58,085 --> 01:57:59,985
and hopefully this guidebook can answer them

2485
01:57:59,985 --> 01:58:02,065
and if you still have questions it would be

2486
01:58:02,065 --> 01:58:03,185
great to pass them along.

2487
01:58:03,185 --> 01:58:04,305
But that's another resource I

2488
01:58:04,305 --> 01:58:05,425
kind of wanted to send out with this.

2489
01:58:05,625 --> 01:58:06,705
'cause they kind of go hand in hand.

2490
01:58:07,405 --> 01:58:08,985
But yeah, just some food for thought

2491
01:58:08,985 --> 01:58:10,865
until our next meeting. Yeah,

2492
01:58:11,375 --> 01:58:12,375
Good.

2493
01:58:12,375 --> 01:58:14,465
So yeah. Yeah. We'll you'll get some feedback I'm sure.

2494
01:58:14,575 --> 01:58:15,825
Yeah, I'll have this sent out today.

2495
01:58:15,825 --> 01:58:17,305
And really, val, I admire your passion about it.

2496
01:58:17,325 --> 01:58:18,705
It really is. It's admirable.

2497
01:58:18,735 --> 01:58:20,345
It's great. It's fantastic. Step back

2498
01:58:20,345 --> 01:58:21,345
A minute. I know I started this

2499
01:58:21,345 --> 01:58:23,145
Last year, but, okay.

2500
01:58:23,335 --> 01:58:24,335
Alright.

2501
01:58:25,065 --> 01:58:27,945
I don't wanna break it. I just press the button

2502
01:58:27,945 --> 01:58:30,105
and unplug it or press

2503
01:58:30,225 --> 01:58:31,225
The button.

2504
01:58:31,225 --> 01:58:32,585
Don't, just don't let Beth touch it. Unplug it.

2505
01:58:34,135 --> 01:58:37,785
Wait, not, let, not that serious.

2506
01:58:38,165 --> 01:58:39,305
Second my

2507
01:58:39,305 --> 01:58:40,985
Dad and my science project all over again.

2508
01:58:41,315 --> 01:58:45,845
Keep that away. State police are like how come, how come?

2509
01:58:45,845 --> 01:58:46,845
Nothing's working.

2510
01:58:48,305 --> 01:58:51,565
Whoops. Alright. Any other, any more other business

2511
01:58:51,565 --> 01:58:52,645
before we go into non-public?

2512
01:58:52,645 --> 01:58:56,605
And just a heads up, we are at 8 58

2513
01:58:56,865 --> 01:58:58,645
and we're supposed to adjourn at nine, so,

2514
01:58:59,455 --> 01:59:00,445
Sorry, I didn't mean to add

2515
01:59:00,445 --> 01:59:01,285
that I have something to each other.

2516
01:59:01,345 --> 01:59:04,485
Yes, Eileen, go ahead. I wanna ask Rick Metz if he, if he,

2517
01:59:04,625 --> 01:59:07,085
if when you were on the TRC

2518
01:59:07,665 --> 01:59:10,525
did anything get presented in regards to, you know,

2519
01:59:10,525 --> 01:59:11,605
the Lane Road project?

2520
01:59:11,905 --> 01:59:14,685
You know how we only got to see the houses that were along

2521
01:59:17,085 --> 01:59:18,485
actually on Island Pond Road, the

2522
01:59:18,485 --> 01:59:19,485
Ones that are being built Now.

2523
01:59:19,675 --> 01:59:23,725
There's some being built now that are on the lane road side

2524
01:59:23,725 --> 01:59:25,005
that weren't on that plan.

2525
01:59:25,265 --> 01:59:28,645
And I'm concerned because I, well I do see a a,

2526
01:59:30,235 --> 01:59:32,085
it's like a rolled mulch barrier

2527
01:59:32,935 --> 01:59:36,125
along the wetlands edge on the lane roads way far down.

2528
01:59:36,185 --> 01:59:38,045
But there's an awful lot of like

2529
01:59:39,125 --> 01:59:41,005
material getting moved out there. And so yeah,

2530
01:59:41,005 --> 01:59:42,405
I haven't, I haven't seen in the last week

2531
01:59:42,405 --> 01:59:43,485
or so, I did go by there

2532
01:59:44,025 --> 01:59:48,045
and saw where they, where they were working on Island Pond.

2533
01:59:48,315 --> 01:59:50,965
Yeah. And they're not encroaching real close

2534
01:59:50,965 --> 01:59:52,925
to the water. I haven't looked around

2535
01:59:52,925 --> 01:59:53,925
The corner.

2536
01:59:53,925 --> 01:59:55,805
Well, there's disturbed soil that goes right up to the edge.

2537
01:59:55,905 --> 01:59:57,005
So I'm really kind of

2538
01:59:57,005 --> 01:59:58,805
Wonder that would be something wondering if that

2539
01:59:58,805 --> 02:00:00,205
before Code enforcement done

2540
02:00:00,555 --> 02:00:02,805
That, that didn't come before you at TRC.

2541
02:00:02,945 --> 02:00:06,405
It it did, but we, we discussed it here.

2542
02:00:07,155 --> 02:00:09,245
Well, not, not those particular lots.

2543
02:00:09,245 --> 02:00:11,525
We only saw the ones along Island Pond Road

2544
02:00:11,525 --> 02:00:12,525
that were way up high.

2545
02:00:13,265 --> 02:00:15,085
We didn't see the ones on Lane Road.

2546
02:00:15,255 --> 02:00:17,765
There weren't any lots on Lane Road to my knowledge.

2547
02:00:18,105 --> 02:00:19,445
No, there are. Okay.

2548
02:00:19,445 --> 02:00:20,605
Well, concern that's something for,

2549
02:00:20,985 --> 02:00:22,205
that's something from the billing,

2550
02:00:22,205 --> 02:00:24,325
billing inspector and code enforcement. Okay. So,

2551
02:00:24,625 --> 02:00:27,005
So the lane road ones, if they were, if they were,

2552
02:00:27,385 --> 02:00:29,845
if they met all of the,

2553
02:00:31,315 --> 02:00:33,045
what we call a plan a lot,

2554
02:00:33,075 --> 02:00:36,285
meaning it had it had sufficient setbacks,

2555
02:00:36,795 --> 02:00:39,605
road frontage area, area, it would not,

2556
02:00:39,785 --> 02:00:41,285
it would've not have come before us.

2557
02:00:41,945 --> 02:00:45,125
But they pushed soil right up to the, and I don't,

2558
02:00:45,345 --> 02:00:46,645
I'm Not saying that they didn't, if it incurred, some

2559
02:00:46,645 --> 02:00:48,085
of it may have incurred into the wetland.

2560
02:00:48,165 --> 02:00:50,445
I don't know. It's hard to tell from the road. But

2561
02:00:50,555 --> 02:00:51,885
Yeah, I'm not saying that they didn't do that.

2562
02:00:51,945 --> 02:00:53,725
I'm saying that it's a concern that we wouldn't,

2563
02:00:53,785 --> 02:00:56,005
we wouldn't have seen the plan if it wasn't,

2564
02:00:56,265 --> 02:00:58,925
if it wasn't like applied to push the,

2565
02:00:58,925 --> 02:01:00,685
push the stuff into the well.

2566
02:01:00,685 --> 02:01:02,285
And so you should reach out to Bob. Okay,

2567
02:01:02,365 --> 02:01:03,365
I will.

2568
02:01:03,365 --> 02:01:03,715
Yeah.

2569
02:01:04,425 --> 02:01:06,405
Oh, Bob's no longer there. It's a Or

2570
02:01:06,405 --> 02:01:07,085
Carrie. Yeah,

2571
02:01:07,335 --> 02:01:08,335
Sorry Carrie.

2572
02:01:08,335 --> 02:01:10,205
I'll reach out to her. I just wanted to know if

2573
02:01:10,205 --> 02:01:11,765
It has been instinct, instinct for Bob.

2574
02:01:11,895 --> 02:01:13,925
She's, she's pretty responsive too. Yeah. Right.

2575
02:01:14,195 --> 02:01:16,005
Yeah. And she has to respond so

2576
02:01:16,035 --> 02:01:17,045
that, that's how that works.

2577
02:01:17,185 --> 02:01:19,365
If you, if you call, there's a ticket,

2578
02:01:19,365 --> 02:01:22,005
there's a ticket written and the ticket has to be executed.

2579
02:01:22,145 --> 02:01:23,245
So Okay. Can

2580
02:01:23,275 --> 02:01:25,085
Call and I'll take a drive by tomorrow and Okay.

2581
02:01:25,145 --> 02:01:26,145
See what it looks like.

2582
02:01:27,285 --> 02:01:29,005
Anything else for other business

2583
02:01:29,005 --> 02:01:30,205
before we go into non-public?

2584
02:01:30,415 --> 02:01:32,645
Non-public is not gonna be, I don't know

2585
02:01:32,645 --> 02:01:33,725
how long this PowerPoint is,

2586
02:01:33,725 --> 02:01:35,725
but it's, I have a couple of things to talk about.

2587
02:01:36,655 --> 02:01:38,485
We're not gonna have any action tonight.

2588
02:01:38,755 --> 02:01:41,125
More just an information. I have a couple.

2589
02:01:41,725 --> 02:01:43,645
I have a couple to, yeah, you have to come up.

2590
02:01:43,645 --> 02:01:44,805
State your name for the record.

2591
02:01:45,845 --> 02:01:47,125
Actually, you know, what is it?

2592
02:01:47,915 --> 02:01:51,805

Y'all know me at this point.

2606
02:02:25,475 --> 02:02:28,045
I've been coming to these meetings for a couple months now.

2607
02:02:29,035 --> 02:02:31,685
Unfortunately, I'm triple booked for the day

2608
02:02:31,685 --> 02:02:34,725
of the bio blitz, so I will not be able to make it

2609
02:02:34,865 --> 02:02:35,925
as I had planned to.

2610
02:02:37,365 --> 02:02:40,645
I have other higher priority items that I have to get to.

2611
02:02:40,835 --> 02:02:43,605
However, learning today that it's a 24 hour event,

2612
02:02:43,765 --> 02:02:47,125
I might try to make it after my other obligations. Yeah,

2613
02:02:47,125 --> 02:02:48,005
It's cool, right? You can go late.

2614
02:02:48,305 --> 02:02:50,925
So, yeah. So I look forward

2615
02:02:51,025 --> 02:02:53,285

2622
02:03:06,525 --> 02:03:09,005
and we are gonna invite Owen into our non-public

2623
02:03:09,645 --> 02:03:12,405

2624
02:03:12,875 --> 02:03:17,685
Beth, do you wanna join or do you wanna leave? I can join.

2625
02:03:18,115 --> 02:03:20,005
Okay. So we're gonna have to, after,

2627
02:03:21,245 --> 02:03:22,645
then we're gonna have to vote two more times.

2628
02:03:23,755 --> 02:03:25,405
Move, move the vote, move

2629
02:03:25,405 --> 02:03:28,325

2631
02:03:32,265 --> 02:03:35,005
Second. So we have a first on the floor

2632
02:03:35,005 --> 02:03:36,005
to go into nonpublic.

2633
02:03:36,085 --> 02:03:39,445
A second. We need a roll call starting to my right?

2634
02:03:40,625 --> 02:03:43,205

2638
02:03:53,305 --> 02:03:55,525

So we are going in

2643
02:04:04,645 --> 02:04:06,565
and nonpublic once we get a thumbs up from

2644
02:04:07,935 --> 02:04:12,285

2645
02:04:13,065 --> 02:04:13,605
