Brewster - Special/Annual Town Meeting

  • May 15, 2021
  • 10:00 AM
  • Stony Brook Elementary School

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT MEETING AND WE NEED YOUR HELP TO DEFEAT ARTICLE 25 ON THE ANNUAL BREWSTER TOWN MEETING WARRANT WHICH PROPOSES TO BAN HUNTING IN ALL FORMS IN THE PUNKHORN PARKLANDS!!

Here is the link to the Brewster Town Meeting Warrant, and Article 25 can be found on pages 57 to 59. https://brewster-ma.gov/files/sp21warrant.pdf

The text of the Article is as follows:

CITIZENS PETITION/Hunting on Town Property (Punkhorn)

ARTICLE NO. 25: To see if the Town will vote to prohibit in the Punkhorn Parklands (see map and FY2021 Punkhorn Parklands Parcels, numbers 1 - 108, below): the discharge of firearms or hunting. No person shall discharge any gun, including paint ball guns, fowling piece, pistol, or firearm or release an arrow from a bow or hunt or trap or poison in the area of town-owned parcels in southwest Brewster, typically referred to as the Punkhorn. This petition will not affect municipal use as outlined in the "Wildland Fire Protection and Preparedness Plan for the Punkhorn Parklands" or the Town's use of sharp shooters for hire to control nuisance or injured wildlife, or to take any other action relative thereto.   

The Petitioners propose this under the guise of conservation, but banning a segment of the population from use of public lands isn't conservation - it's discrimination. It is imperative that this be defeated.

Please spread the word and make sure that all Brewster registered voters attend this meeting!!!
