On Thursday, February 27, our Wetlands Preservation Group made a presentation to the Town Council on the importance of the wetlands areas along the Riverwalk in town. Over 150 different species of birds have been reported on ebird in this area and it is of vital importance to wildlife and people that the integrity of this area be preserved.

This presentation was the culmination of several months work and meetings by many chapter members and other interested citizens. Hours of research went into this project. We met with David Dronet who represents the Springs Resort, walked the property with him and learned from each other.

Indications were that the presentation was well received by the Town Council. We are grateful for the opportunity to express our concerns and look forward to working with the town to preserve our natural beauty. Our thanks to our supporters who made this meeting standing room only!
