If your property lies within a "river corridor," (an area marked in orange or purple on this map) then the Planning Commission would like to hear from you. We will discuss an update to our existing Flood Hazard Area Regulations at the next special meeting, and a public hearing to follow a few weeks later. This updated bylaw will offer you additional protection for your property from upstream hazards. It will also reduce the cost to the Town (paid by taxes) in the event of another FEMA-declared disaster.
HELP NEEDED – CITIZEN SCIENTISTS!! Would you like to learn more about the wildlife in our town and how to identify what animals made those tracks in your yard? Then we have the perfect project for you to join! Our Introduction to Wildlife Tracking Training Program on Saturday, November 5, 10 a.m.– 12 p.m. at the Meeting House, will provide training to help you learn how to identify wildlife tracks and prepare you to volunteer to help the Shrewsbury Conservation Commission gather hard data on wildlife road crossings here in Shrewsbury. What do you need to do as a volunteer tracker? After a snowfall you would need to walk a section of road here in town and record the wildlife tracks you see. We hope to have enough volunteers so that you'll have a partner to go out with. Your route would ideally be checked five times a year. This is a three year project. When finished, our sightings will provide data to update and refine wildlife corridors in Shrewsbury. We had lots of fun getting together for wildlife tracking walks last year. I hope you'll consider joining our Wildlife Road Crossing Project this winter. You may even start looking forward to fresh snow falls! -Linda Shelvey Lpurdyshel@gmail.com
