News
Mining Legislation
The govenor signed the mining bill, LD 1853, that was improved thanks to efforts of conservation minded groups and your calls and emails. Key to the impact the changes will have is the rule making which must be presented to the legislature by January 2014. The heavy discussion is likely to be next summer and TU State Council is gearing up for the debate.
St. George Fish Barrier Survey
The Georges River Land Trust is heading up a project to complete the survey of barriers (dams, culverts etc.) on the St George that was started a few years ago by Erin Spencer Mullen. They have hired an intern, Todd Bartlett, to survey the 180 sites but they need some volunteers to help Todd in June. If you can help please contact Annette Naegel at annette@grlt.org or 207 594 5266.
Going Fishing
Our last meeting of the season was Monday May 14 and Jeff Reardon reviewed progress of the brook trout survey. There are still a lot of ponds to check out so if your plans include time up north check out the possibility of surveying a pond while you are there. www.TUmaine.org/brooktrout.htm
Have a great spring and summer fishing.
