Greenland commission shares stormwater toolkit, plans e-newsletter outreach and seeks volunteers
Summary
Commissioners reviewed a stormwater 'tool kit' for residents, discussed distribution channels including farmers markets and the Transfer Station, and set an e-newsletter timeline; they also sought volunteers for conservation projects.
At its Feb. 11 meeting, the Greenland Conservation Commission presented a stormwater 'tool kit' intended to help residents reduce runoff pollution and discussed how to distribute the materials to the community.
Chair Jean Eno suggested outreach approaches she used while working with the New Hampshire Rivers Council, including tabling at farmers markets and fairs, placement on local business countertops, Transfer Station handouts, and coordination with the Town Clerk for car registration and dog-license mailings. Vice-chair Kathleen Babin-Johnson said she would forward materials to Commissioner Cindy Hoonhout for inclusion in the commission's e-newsletter.
The commission also discussed internal logistics for the Spring edition of the e-newsletter: contributors should submit drafts by Feb. 25, and the newsletter will be emailed shortly after the March 11 meeting. Commissioners noted the need to choose a new open-source editing platform because the Microsoft Publisher currently used by Commissioner Hoonhout is being phased out.
Members discussed recruiting more volunteers for trail clean-ups, roadside clean-ups with NHDOT, and pollinator projects, and agreed to increase Facebook outreach to community pages as projects approach.
