Board Nominates Joe Welsh
The Board of Directors
has nominated Joe Welsh to serve as President of the Shelton Land
Conservation Trust in the coming year. An active member of the Trust
and its Board, Joe has been at the forefront of many local conservation
issues. He was instrumental in helping the Trust secure needed equipment
such as the wood chipper, and various hand tools donated by the Stihl
Company (See December Newsletter). He has also played a leadership
role in the on-going "Invasive plants Battle" being waged
on the Trust's Nichodale property.
Joe, who is employed
by the Acquarion Water Company (Formerly BHC), was honored by the
Company recently for his conservation work, and volunteerism within
the community. He was presented with the Company's prestigious "Laurel"
award, along with a $500 donation to a not-for-profit organization
of his choice, which he promptly earmarked for the Trust. Acquarion,
a steadfast business supporter of the Trust and its objectives, had
previously made a similar $500 donation.

Annual Meeting February 10 (top)
The Annual Meeting of the Shelton Land Conservation
Trust will be held on Thursday, February 10, 2005, at 7:30 p.m. in
the Community room of the Plumb
Memorial Library. All Trust members, as well as, members of the
general public are cordially invited to attend. Members will elect
a new slate of officers and board members for the coming year (See
preceding article.)
Following the short "business" portion of the meeting, there
will be a special presentation by Greg Waters on "Invasive Plants"
issues in Connecticut. Greg is the Natural Resource Manager and Horticulturist
from the Weir Farm
in Wilton, CT. Greg can provide important insights and facts on the
scope and status of the invasive plants problem in CT, and what is
being done, and
can be done to battle the problem.
Board Member Bruce Nichols will then follow, with a brief talk about
his recently-completed trek along the Camino
Trail in Spain. Bruce is an experienced and veteran hiker, who
previously has hiked the Appalachian
Trail. Bruce is not only a hiker extraordinaire, but also an excellent
raconteur that can weave his experiences and keen observations into
a fascinating and informative narrative that puts you on the trail
with him.
