Agenda

NEW BUSINESS 

II.        FT. HOLMES INTERPRETATIVE SIGNAGE

Ann Mills will present her plan for historical markers to be placed along the Fort Holmes walkway as part of Old Baldy’s collaboration with BHA and the Village.  The signs are meant to serve as educational tools for visitors along the walkways.   

III.       PLANT SALVAGE PROGRAM

            Dr. Suzanne Dorsey, Executive Director of the Conservancy, is in the process of developing a program that will encourage homeowners to use native, salvaged BHI plants in their landscaping plans.  As part of the plan, a property owner clearing a lot could save the carefully harvested plants and give or sell them to a designated “nursery”, which might live on BHA property.  Other property owners in the process of building could purchase these truly native plants at a discount.  This might be one step toward to saving our Island vegetation and encouraging responsible re-population of native plants.  Dr. Dorsey hopes to enlist the help of a graduate student in creating a business plan for this endeavor.  In the meantime, she’s asking BHA to consider granting permission to use a portion of the Timbercreek Mulch area.
