This is an abridged version of the Environmental Committee minutes of the recent November 4, 2015 meeting. Complete minutes can be found on the SIPOA website in the property owners’ section.
The Greenery
The barren area to the right of the Pelicans Nest when facing the ocean at Seabrook Island Road will be sodded to control continuing erosion of the bank.
Wildlife Mapping
There were 12 sightings reported in October which included the first red fox seen for several years near Summerwinds Cottages.
Birding Group
Sixty people have indicated interest. The first meeting was held November 3. Preliminary suggestions are to meet quarterly to educate, plan outings and communicate information to residents.
Seabrook Island has received a Stage One of four of the Audubon International Sustainable Communities Program.
Lakes Management
Owners are responsible for maintaining trees and shrubs around lake banks on their property or that encroach into water adjacent to their property in accordance with the rules and regulations of the ARC. It is not a SIPOA responsibility to remove fallen trees.
