Reflection/Evaluation
General meetings work well with a presenter. Everyone expresses appreciation for this aspect. Letter writing has a format which we use now and expect to continue to share the expertise of one broad who organizes this session. We will look at a poll for other times to meet as we notice a decline in numbers as the weather warms. There has been a request for a hike together. There is an alewife monitoring project in Ma. We are actively looking for more stewardship opportunities.
