An open house meeting hosted by EBB Environmental Consulting Inc, contracted by the Islands Trust Fund, will be held at the Community Hall on Saturday between 2 and 3pm March 10.  The meeting is to provide the community an opportunity to provide input into the land use and conservation management plan being prepared for the John Osland Nature Reserve.

This is the agenda for the meeting. Sorry that the formatting is not perfect. The agenda and the full information package (90 pages, lots of background material) will be posted on the Islands Trust website on Tuesday. Times are estimates only, and should not be relied upon.

Here are two brief articles from the Guardian Weekly, 10 Feb 2012, that put a perspective on the various fuels. The second indicates that there are lots of grades of “crude” oil, but points at a hopeful way to encourage use of the less damaging fuels.
