Steve Guglielmi of the Department of Environmental Conversation will speak to management issues both of the fire tower and trail usage. David Thomas-Train will talk about the proposed work on the new Lyon Mountain trail. Both Jack Freeman and David are affiliated with a new not for profit organization: The
