Our “Walk” event was very successful and made the front-page of The Wellesley Townsman on November 18. We had over 110 people in attendance and between the event itself, and handing out flyers at Roche Bros. and the RDF beforehand - - we got petition signatures from over 230 people representing 92 different street addresses in Wellesley. These results were submitted to the Wetland Protection Committee at the last meeting on November 18. We plan to resume a town-wide petition campaign soon and will need volunteers so please stay tuned.
The Wetland Protection Committee has officially contracted with peer reviewer Beals & Thomas, Inc. to assess critical components of the proposed project as well as citizen input and concerns. A copy of the contract that includes the scope of services is attached.
Unfortunate news, a member of the Wetland Protection Committee, Carlos Gimeno, has resigned from the committee. The Wetland Protection Committee is looking for a replacement so if you or someone you know is interested please inquire/apply.
Good news, we have been approved to have an informational, educational table at the upcoming Town Meeting on Dec 6 where we will to share facts about the proposed building project and environmental considerations.
The next Wetland Protection Committee meeting is scheduled for Dec 9 at Town Hall. Please attend if possible. We will send out information confirming the time and agenda as soon as it is published.
We also have a new URL http://www.friendsofbrookside.org. It will take you directly to our blog where information and articles are posted.
