Conservancy Updates

Margarete reported clean up and landscaping of the Airport Pond last weekend was a success. The volunteers planted trees and shrubs. The landscaping requires watering on a scheduled basis by volunteers.

Margarete reported that there is a low spot at the east border of the Centennial Farm Open Space. The committee recommended a culvert be installed to facilitate the flow of water. Committee members will meet with Margarate next week at the location to firm up plans for correcting this issue.

Dump the Junk / Find a Treasure

The event on May 16^th was a huge success. Another event will be scheduled in October. It was decided to dedicate at least three and possibly four dumpsters strictly for yard waste and to request help to compact them as yard waste is dumped. At least 10 dumpsters will be required for the October event including one for wood and one for metal and five for trash. If all dumpsters are full before close of business on Sunday the excess amount will be put on the ground to prevent mixing yard waste with trash, wood or concrete.
