New Publication:  “The Importance of Hydroperiod in Wetland Assessment: a guide for community officials, planners, and natural resource professionals”
New Hampshire has many different types of wetlands that serve important functions in our landscapes, including flood control, groundwater protection, and sediment trapping. Their role in providing habitat for amphibians, however, is often a main reason natural resource professionals and communities are interested in protecting them.  This new publication describes a biologically-based method for determining what species of amphibians will use any given wetland by assessing wetlands based on their hydroperiod, the length of time and portion of the year that a wetland holds water. Understanding hydroperiod is an important initial step in guiding management decisions aimed at minimizing or avoiding loss or degradation of wetlands that provide significant amphibian breeding habitat within an area. The publication is aimed at community officials, planners, and natural resource professionals interested in protecting and conserving amphibians and making better management decisions.

Selectmen's Meeting

Hi All,
 
I presented a high level building benchmark to the selectmen on Monday night (missed you Michael M.).  Also shared info on the Carbon Challenge presentation and mentioned that we would like to have the selectmen there.  (Also made mention of challenging Hampstead selectmen, since their library will be participating in implementing the challenge).
 
They are very concerned about energy costs, obviously.  They would like to hold a workshop in the next couple of weeks to talk about ways to reduce energy use. 
 
I contacted a friend at SDES (Sustainable Development and Energy Systems) Group and he suggested that for the near term, beyond the basics in tightening the shell, that we could look at retrofitting outside temperature regulators to boilers to regulate the temperature the water is heated to based on outdoor temperatures.  Manufacturers claim installations can see up to a 14% energy use savings.
 
Regarding the presentation on October 8th (7:30 at the Community Center) - please remember to talk the carbon challenge/energy efficiency presentation up with friends and colleagues.  Also, send me your challenge results (what have you done and what are you planning on doing with carbon reductions in lbs noted) and a picture of what drives you to make changes (picture of your children, etc.).
If you like, we can have a practice session a day or two before or you can wing it when it comes to your slide of results.
 
Michelle
 
P.S.  I asked Selectmen about the RPC grant and they were interested in checking into it.  Steven Angelo (our new administrator) contacted RPC and they were open to our request since only three communities submitted.  Steven asked for a recommendation and I suggested that we would be interested in them crafting a section for the Master Plan encouraging sustainable development and encouraging the implementation of alternative energy systems, as well as asking that town officials place energy efficiency consideration as a top priority in evaluating expenditures for new construction and maintenance of town buildings.

RE: using Timberlane email

I agree totally - open to suggestions (half is an improvement, but still not great). 
 
Just to catch you up Mike, we were talking about ways to promote the NH Carbon Challenge talk on Wed, Oct. 8th.  I have put up posters at the Town Hall, Village Store, Post Office and Community Center about the talk.  (Library also suggested last night.)  I have asked that it be put on cable.  We are announcing it at the Selectmen's meeting.  Jim sent info to Megan Carey at the Eagle Tribune.  I thought an inclusion in the Academy electronic newsletter would also be a good way to spread the word - that's where Michael's email comes in.  If everyone feels the other communication channels are sufficient, we can go with that.

If the Selectmen do allow these copies to be made at Town Hall can we put the information on half of the paper - i.e. two per page then cut them.  The two per page is more physical work but less paper.

Committee members,

 Last night we talked about using the Atkinson Academy email as a tool to advertise the October 8th meeting. I checked with our Superintendent about using the school districts email account. He is not comfortable with that idea and went so far as to point out two school policies that speak out against that action. I have attached the two policies for your reading pleasure.

  He is OK using the school shuttle for non-controversial student relevant info and public notices.

 

Hope this helps,

Michael

RE: I can NOT make the meeting tonight

Hmmm, how come my challenge results only yield a CO2 saved of 1,883 and you were able to save 31,142 lbs.   Either I am already being a good consumer or I didn’t enter all the information properly.

My apologies for last minute.  Something came up and I will not be able to make a meeting tonight.

 

I *did* complete the New Hampshire Carbon Challenge with a total CO2 savings of 31, 412 lbs.  Even though there were many items in the survey that we have already taken action on, I listed them as "I will do" - so it would calculate the savings.

 

Some highlights include:  replacing 22 light bulbs with CFLs, driving an average of 15 miles less per week, replace old refrigerator, air-dry dishes and laundry, recycle metal, plastic, glass, and paper, stop junk mail.

For next week ...

Hi Everyone,
 
Just a reminder that we will be meeting next week on Wednesday, Sept 17th at 7pm at the Town Hall.  Please go online to the nhcarbonchallenge.org and take the challenge.  Please keep a list of the things you have committed to doing and their associated CO2 reductions.  We'll add those to the PowerPoint.
 
A good website to review - easy to learn tips for increasing fuel economy by 15%.  http://www.ecodrivingusa.com/  Might want to add it to the blog ...
 
See you on Wednesday!

Hi Everyone,
 
Just wanted to verify that everyone can make the meeting on the 17th at Town Hall.  I will call and make sure there's space available.
 
Please make sure to go online and at least look thought the carbon challenge, www.nhcarbonchallenge.org .  We'll use your input on the PowerPoint presentation.  If everyone would like to, I can run through the presenation that night.  It takes approximately 45 -  50 minutes.
 
Jim, we talked about staycations this summer.  I know it's late, but NH's visitnh.gov site actually has something similar - you get a lot of retail and dining, but also several destinations, including wildlife managed areas, etc. http://www.visitnh.gov/what-to-do/search.aspx  If you think it's useful, maybe we could put a link of the blog.

RE: Next meeting

Hi,
 
Sorry - was quickly sending out the email and didn't review it.  I actually meant the 10th (missed the 0 key), but if the 17th works for people, let's go with that.  I will start putting up posters around the area.  The timing for a challenge with Hampstead might be ripe too.  NHCC people told me that Hampstead's library is signing up to help people take the challenge.  They will be the first library in the state to do it.  (Maybe we can get something going with Kimball Library once they're moved in.)

I just realized that we have tickets to the Red Sox next Tuesday versus Tampa Bay, so I won't be able to make the meeting.  Sorry!  The issue is that I was hoping that we could have a working session - go through the NH Carbon Challenge presentation and modify it for our use.  I have scheduled the Community Center for Wednesday, October 8th.  We also need to promote the presentation ASAP.  Any chance we could meet on Wednesday night (Sept 19th) instead?
 
Let me know what you think ...

RE: Next meeting

Wednesday works for me (9/17).  If it were to be Friday – that might be an issue.

 

 

FYI – The Green Building Open House Tour is scheduled for October 4.  We are participating on that tour again this year.  Check out nhsea.org and/or nesea.org for details.

Hi Everyone,
 
I just realized that we have tickets to the Red Sox next Tuesday versus Tampa Bay, so I won't be able to make the meeting.  Sorry!  The issue is that I was hoping that we could have a working session - go through the NH Carbon Challenge presentation and modify it for our use.  I have scheduled the Community Center for Wednesday, October 8th.  We also need to promote the presentation ASAP.  Any chance we could meet on Wednesday night (Sept 19th) instead?
 
Let me know what you think ...

Hi Michelle,

 In your message, September 19th is Friday. Do you mean the 17th  (Wed) ?
