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.

Vice President; Ed McCreery, Vice President; Marge Estok, Treasurer; and Mary Jane Liddel, Secretary.

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.
