MAY 41993 Boon 53 Fuc,394. <br />a nature trail on Wabasso Island to enable them to apply for <br />funding of the project to the State Department of Edu- <br />cation's Environmental Education Mini -Grant Program. He <br />stated that they did not anticipate any permanent structures <br />and the nature trail would be very similar to the one at <br />Beachland Elementary. <br />Chairman Bird said the concept sounds very appealing <br />and very worthwhile, but wondered if there could be some <br />coordination with the Audubon Society since we are already <br />committed to helping that organization in developing an <br />environmental education center on that site. <br />Ruth.Stanbridge addressed the Board and explained that <br />she serves on the Environmental Advisory Committee, and the <br />committee has an' -overall plan for,Wabasso Island to utilize <br />the state grant money. She hoped that Paul Adams would <br />serve on the committee working closely with them in <br />developing a site plan. <br />Commissioner Lyons wanted very much to have a schematic <br />master plan now, before the trails are put in, so that we <br />are absolutely sure we have provided for the future, and we <br />can be sure the School Board and the Audubon Society agree <br />to the plan. <br />Chairman Bird asked if it would suit their purposes <br />this morning if the Board would give conceptual approval to <br />the project and the drafting of a master plan for this area, <br />subject to approval of the final plan by this Board. <br />Paul Adams stated it would facilitate the grant <br />proposal to the D.O.E. and felt the suggestions of Commis- <br />sioner Lyons would be no problem because the cooperation <br />between the Audubon Society and the School Board has been <br />very, very positive in the past. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, that <br />� � r <br />
