Hi Doug,
Kris Clark informed me that the Open Space Committee is reviewing the Land Acquisition Plan that will be in place
for the next 7 years. I wanted to make sure that Savory Bog , the properties at #16 and 20 Route 130 in Cotuit were
considered in the plan. In my opinion # 20 is more of a priority since it encompasses the banks of the Santuit
River. This bog could play an important role in nitrogen reduction from water exiting Santuit Pond, which we know
has water quality issues. Myself and previous DNR staff have had this location as a priority and I believe these
properties were on previous plans and I wanted to make sure they stayed on the list. I presented this information
to the Land Acquisition and Preservation Committee in 2018.

Let me know if you would like any additional information or if I can assist in any other way.
Thank you,
