To All Land Care Volunteers,
Now that the leaves have left the trees it would be a good
time to check the open space land you've chosen to care for. If
possible the BCC would like to have their yearly reports for our
January 9th meeting.
You may return the reports at our meeting on December 12th, or
leave them in our mail box at the Town Hall or mail them to the
BCC, c/o Town Hall, Berlin.
Once again may I express our thanks for your help in
maintaining our open space natural resources.
Happy Holidays,
4ee/ ifs
