Midpen board meeting Wednesday 9/23
@truthseqr, @newtpatrol, @sea-kangaroo, @anudibranchmom, and @joescience1 and everyone else interested -
Midpen is holding a board meeting on Wednesday 9/23, 7 pm, about their newt study and the Beaty parking lot. On the last meeting, 3 board members decided to postpone the plan to build a parking lot and a trail on Alma Bridge Rd., until they get more data about the newt population and mortality. During the next meeting, they will discuss the plan for the newt study (in collaboration with POST and HT Harvey) and the parking lot with the entire board. The board might decide to change the decision, and aprove the parking lot plan. This is highly important, as it will add more traffic to the area, even if the parking lot is closed in winter.
