FoBBP 2nd Meeting
Hi All:
See the note from Nan about the next meeting...
Yours,
Hello FOBPP,
Welcome to the late spring Greenspace season.
We will have our second gardening session with Paula Randler, our Greenspace intern.
Date: Wednesday, June 13
Time: 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Location: By the benches at the corner of Fournier and Crescent
Come for the whole time. Come for a short time. Come to say hello and cheer us on.
We will peruse our goals and our visions for the year of 2007 at Beaver Pond Park and select several to focus on for this year.
We will also clean up the hillside which is now in bloom with pink and white Mountain Laurel and plant some more Mountain Laurel and a few other colorful native shrubs .
Please bring your energy, your children, your parents, grandparents and neighbors. This park is our park. We have rescued it from neglect. Let's continue to restore it and to beautify it. It is our community meeting place. We need your input.
Since we want to focus on community organization this year as well as on the plantings, we want to plan a community picnic. We need your ideas.
From now on, our regular meetings will take place on Wednesdays from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.
I look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening. My cell phone number is 203-494-2529.

What I have been up to recently
Hi All:
I got a few questions as to why I have not been updating the blog etc. for the past few weeks. It isn't that I forgot about you it is that my life has been taken over by the City Budget (I sit on the finance committee).
You should be seeing more posts on a variety of subjects soon.

Beaver Pond Park Greenspace Meeting Notes
Hi All:
These are the notes from meeting:
5 June 2007 (first of the summer!)
Brainstorm ~
Create zigzagging walkway up the hill
Convert road to a small path to alleviate parking problems
Clear invasive on the hill (Norway maple saplings, etc)
Wildflower garden (Paula is ordering a wildflower seed mix for July)
Birdhouses – must be built to specifically for attracting a species (in other words, a tree swallow house is not fit for a wood duck, and a house designed for both supports neither of them) species include: tree swallows, wood ducks, blue birds, osprey (platform, not house in N. Pond)
Plant cattails
Human events – non-working events to get the public out
Wall to keep sediment in shore around the benches for fishing, fetching water, etc; if not wall, stones placed out into the water to walk out and get water when the level is very low.
Trail through the marsh on the other side of the pond
Pipeline from Bowen field for water – Ed has a contact at the water company?
N. Pond – playground (where would the money come from? Who okays it?), mow the flat part for grass (keep cutting down Phragmites as Peter has been doing)
There is lots of floating litter in the N. Pond, the west side is silting in, Phragmites taking over, would roto-tilling the Phrag get rid of it?
Woodchucks (or something) are eating the Lobelia! Make cages to cover the plants?
Canoe launch in N. Pond
Highlight kids’ involvement at the end of the summer; connect to family day with Roxanne?
Dale has a chainsaw!
Things to do on Wednesday June 13th at 6 pm:
~ Continue weeding and mulching around all the shore plants and the plants on the hill
~ Plant what Paula brings out
~ Choose 2 or 3 of the above items the group wishes to and is able to complete this summer
