Celine received contents of material she brought re: possible future
project. First step is to inventory the property re: species and she's been
able to get Mario Digregorio to go ahead and get it done with a donation. A
very important tool for grants and other funding. Gordon pointed out that
this committee can't hire anyone to do such a project. Celine said it
possibly could be done by the Provincetown Conservation Trust.

Need to put together a brochure to hand to property owners regarding their
options of selling and/or donating their land to the town.

General discussion about letter regarding exploring options through the
Landbank Committee of land that might be available for purchase.

Our Job, as a recommended body, will be to put together a proposal that
goes to town management.
