are also still negotiating for the Ice Pond Property <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> Woodland Road. The Commission hopes to<br />

connect all <strong>of</strong> the property owned by the <strong>Town</strong> in that area and form a <strong>Town</strong> Forest as suggested by<br />

our <strong>Town</strong> Master Plan.<br />

We as a Commission have been very active writing grant proposals and have worked closely with the<br />

Rockingham County Conservation District to obtain funding for our numerous projects.<br />

I thank all <strong>of</strong> the members <strong>of</strong> the Commission for volunteering thousands <strong>of</strong> hours <strong>of</strong> their time to<br />

protect and uphold the <strong>Town</strong> Ordinances. Thanks to the efforts <strong>of</strong> the Commissioners there will be<br />

open space and rural areas protected for all to enjoy in perpetuity.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

It is with regret that we say goodbye to Bonnie<br />

Thimble. After well over 10 years as an<br />

invaluable member <strong>of</strong> the Conservation<br />

Commission, Bonnie has decided to step down.<br />

During her tenure on the Commission Bonnie<br />

oversaw the <strong>Hampton</strong> Victory Garden and<br />

personally oversaw the planting <strong>of</strong> American<br />

Elms at sites throughout <strong>Hampton</strong>. Her service<br />

to the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Hampton</strong> was quiet, constant and<br />

invaluable. We will miss her dry wit at our<br />

meetings and hope to see her around town.<br />
