TRWA Board Member and BCAHS NRM Chairman, Brian Bastarache, and project technician George Bancroft, will present results from the 2021 Taunton River Diamondback Terrapin Population Assessment field season. This is the the TRWA’s six season studying the Diamondback Terrapin population in the Taunton River and the second season of a small pilot nest protection program.

There will be a treasurer’s update and advocacy update, and the TRWA membership will be publicly voting to fill Board of Director seats and select 2022 officers. Please contact the office if you are a member and have any questions on who is running for officers (or if you wish to join the board.)
The meeting is hosted by the Natural Resource Management Department and will be held in the newly built Student Commons Building. Light refreshments will be served.

The Student Commons Building is on the north side of Center Street. Please note, the campus is still an active construction site and not all of the parking lots are available for use. We ask that you park in the temporary grass lot by the cafeteria if you are more abled, leaving the paved parking spots in the central traffic circle (driveway next to the lights) in front of the Student Commons Building for those who may need a shorter walk or handicap access. (The building is fully accessible from all entrances.)
