Approval of Minutes of the November 4, 2009 Meeting
The minutes of the meeting of November 4, 2009 were approved with one correction; the date of the February walk at Bound Tree is the 13th, not the 12th.

Conservation Plan
Nancy distributed copies of the completed Conservation Plan document received from Margaret Watkins. There was discussion about how the Conservation Plan was to be integrated with the Master Plan. Members were asked to read the document before the January meeting in order to have a better idea of what sections need to be incorporated. John offered to do a first draft of this component.
The group agreed that more hard copies were needed and Jim will check on available funds in the budget and coordinate with Margaret as to the printer used and their costs. Additional copies should be made available to the Planning Board, ZBA, Selectmen and Library. The Plan will also be put on the Town’s web site.
Nancy will check with Margaret about the subtitle that had been agreed to for the document: "Today's Vision, Tomorrow's Reality". It didn’t appear on this cover.

Land Protection

The LCHIP site walk has been rescheduled for December 17 at 10:30 at the Bower’s farm.
