Progess Update

Dear Friends of Brookside,

The Wellesley Townsman is conducting a poll on whether or not the Country Club should be allowed to build in our Wetland Resource Areas. (Please vote No!)

The article also has 3 maps of the area showing the proposed construction sites. Do check it out:

Wetlands Protection Committee Meeting, Thursday December 9, 2010:

The environment had a "win" at Thursday night's WPC meeting. The Wellesley Country Club was cited for illegal dumping without a permit within the 200' Riverfront Buffer Zone, and was issued a cease and desist order. The area is located behind our Community Gardens.

We had a really great showing of people in that small NRC office Thursday night. It made a difference. To those who attended, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules, especially during the holiday season.

Please also consider writing a letter to the editor at the Townsman. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about the process.

Happy Holidays!
