FRYEBURG, Maine — Selectmen last week approved the applications of several residents to the recently re-formed conservation committee, but a prominent water issues activist did not make the cut.
Fryeburg Planning Board member Robert Ricks had suggested to selectmen last month that they revive the town conservation committee, which was on the books but had fallen by the wayside and had no members.
