Dear Sue, Would you be kind enough to send me a copy of your draft ordinance also? I am on the Hallowell Conservation Commission, and we are beginning to work on an ordinance which deals with invasive plant issues as well. Also, I can tell you that our daughter, Ailene, enjoyed her time with you in the past, and she has just started grad school in Plant Community Ecology at U. of Washington in Seattle. We have also seen and appreciated some of your good work from years past as we have been surveying plants as NEWFS PCV's. Hope this finds you well!

I'll send you a copy of the draft ordinance directly. Good luck!

I seem to remember hearing that some municipalities and even planning boards had tackled this issue. We would like to take some draft wording to the Wayne Selectboard next Tuesday.
