Conservation Account is Growing

The Bremen Conservation Commission has received a donation of $955 for the town's conservation account from the Friends of Broad Cove.

Friends Co-Chair Barney Burrall said the money was raised to help protect the Cove from environmental damage and foster education with land owners. "Because the Bremen Conservation Commission has demonstrated its commitment to similar goals, we feel this donation will be better used in fostering the Commission's efforts for all of Bremen," Burrall said.

Dennis Prior, chairman of the Bremen Conservation Commission, thanked the Friends of Broad Cove for its generous donation. Prior said he was delighted to see this donation to the Conservation Account and pleased by the confidence in the Commission shown by the Friends of Broad Cove. "You can be sure that these funds will be used to benefit all of Bremen," he said.

The Conservation Account was established by vote at the 2008 Bremen Town Meeting for the purpose of acquiring land, easements and rights-of-way to maintain open space for Bremen's future. Including this donation, the $3,100 appropriated to the account by the town, and donations of $178.50 from the BCC's 2009 Earth Day compost bin sale, the Conservation Account now totals $4233.50.
