Notes from the Stockbridge Bowl Stewardship Commission. April 28, 2023

  • Roxanne McCaffrey, Chair
  • Michael Nathan
  • Sally Underwood-Miller
  • Patrick White
  • Gary Kleinerman

Editor’s note: Jim Wilusz, Director, resigned — no rep from Tri-Town Health

  1. Minutes from March 31 approved as written
  2. Review elements of Public Awareness Program
    1. Proposed sign placement – at Town Beach, Boat Ramp, Dam, and ask Stockbridge Bowl Association for permission to place sign in Bullard Woods.
    2. White suggested placement of “loop maps” with the mileage
    3. Underwood-Miller regretted the number of dogs without leashes. White reminded McCaffrey that the last SB changed wording of bylaw from “leash required” to “required to control your dog”
  3. Lake and Pond Overlay Bylaw rules:
    1. Maintain 35-foot buffer from water’s edge — helps lake and discourages geese.
    2. Do not remove dead trees — it is habitat for animals/birds.
    3. Only remove dead trees if hazardous.
  4. Contaminated boats — The Bowl has not had much of a problem — does have a boat wash by ramp
  5. Report of harvester — getting it into water earlier and enlarging area to be harvested — if possible

Meeting adjourned
