The Ipswich Conservation Commission invites members of the IGC and the general public to view three short videos on Wednesday, January 11 at 7 p.m. in Room A of the Town Hall. The subject of the videos is the importance of wetlands in Ipswich and their value as a unique and natural resource.
The first video is entitled “Inland Wetlands” and was taken at Dow Brook Conservation Area. Mike DeRosa of DeRosa Environmental Consultants is the featured specialist.
The second video entitled, “The River Zone”, focuses on the Ipswich River and was taken at the Ipswich River Watershed Association headquarters. It features (our own) Kerry Mackin, the Executive Director of the Ipswich River Watershed Association.
The third video is entitled “The Coastal Zone” and was taken at Crane Beach and part of the Great Marsh. It features Kathryn Glenn, the North Shore Regional Coordinator of Coastal Zone Management. Catherine Carney-Feldman, a member of the Ipswich Conservation Commission and producer of the videos, will be the host at this premier. (Catherine gave a fascinating presentation on butterfly gardens in October to our club.)
This premier showing is part of the Conservation Commission’s Speakers Series and will include a short question and answer period. As will all offerings of this series, this event is free and open to the general public. The snow date is Wednesday, January 25th.
ICAM will be showing the videos on Channel 9 starting Friday, January 13th at 6 p.m.. The videos will also air on Channel 9 on Saturday, January 14th at 6 p.m. and Wednesday, January 18th at 8 p.m. Starting on January 18th anyone can go to ICAM’s web site, ICAMIpswich.com and call up the videos on their own computer at their convenience.
