  4. Land Acquisition, Boundaries and Roads - David Tonry
    1. Haselton Fund-raising: Bob Leone reported that $1,000 in pledges has been received, leaving $1,400 to be raised. He will draft a letter to be sent to prospective donors.
    2. Church/Lallis Status: Bob Leone reported both parcels have been surveyed and Boothbay attorneys are working on the federal lien. The BBRLT is interested in talking to another landowner adjacent to the narrow part of the Lallis property so that the trail could be widened out.
    3. River~Link Route North Toward Dodge Point: Steve Huffnagel has indicated that, from Dodge Point to the Schmid Preserve, land has been purchased, an easement granted or verbal approval given for the River~Link trail and he has mapped out a tentative route.
