Mushroom lecture next week

On March 28^th at 2 PM at the Town Hall, the Landaff Conservation Commission will be hosting Roz Lowen who will give a presentation on wild mushrooms. Later on in the summer we will have her return to lead us on a field trip where we will identify edible and non-edible mushrooms. Everyone is welcome.

The strife is over...maybe

Let's hope the bitterness that has reared its ugly head in town in recent weeks can go away now that the voters have decided. Right or wrong, people purposed what they did over love of the town. The amendments were rejected. Let's move on. Feel free to comment.
