Before the outbreak of COVID-19, Brunswick had been planning on working on multiple conservation projects this spring. These efforts require people to work together to take samples, place and repair equipment, and process information. Since proximity of people is not possible right now, this makes much of this work difficult. One of the projects that will be visible is planned for Wharton Point at the site of the High School’s Outdoor Classroom. The state and town will be partnering with local organizations to test a couple of different kinds of erosion control including fabric bags stuffed with crushed shell. The second project will measure how many baby clams are being born out on Brunswick’s flats. ~ Susan Olcott
