Monitoring:

The Monitoring Committee has been tasked with reviewing all lands on which we hold a Conservation Restriction, including, Blood Hill, South Road Fields, Arnold Property (jointly held with New England Forestry Foundation) and the Morrison Property. All the baseline documentation and monitoring reports must meet the new accreditation requirements. Early in the year, we engaged Tim Silva to help the committee complete this work. Tim has been working closely with us, helping guide and write some of the necessary documents, and assisting us to update our monitoring policies and procedures. We have been working to review and compile all the necessary documentation to update both baselines and monitoring data. All the properties are in the final stages of review and sign-off. Thank you to Amy Aubertin, Sue Chapman and Bob Leary for their work on the monitoring committee this year.
