[Hvcatskillcewg] Next meeting

[David Diaz]

Per the emails below, how would the group feel about having the first part
of our meeting be dedicated to Accreditation?  We could get a first hand
view of how the process went and the types of info and requests from two
people that have gone through it (Paul Elconin-OSI and Damon
Oscarson-Westchseter Land Trust).  The second half could be dedicated to the
conservation easement language issues previously spoken about.  Big bang for
our meeting time buck!
 
Thanks to both Paul and Damon for their willingness to share their
accreditation experiences.

I'm happy to talk about Accreditation as well if folks are interested.  I
have been involved in a lot of it especially all the aspects of easements
and land management.

We could also talk accreditation--both OSI and WLT have completed their
apps, and I know several of you are beginning the process.

Hello everyone, 

It's been a while since we had to cancel our last meeting.  We had things
moving in such positive directions I'm hoping we can get things moving
again.  I put out some feelers a few months ago about a potential topic for
our next meeting.  The topic was easement language, specifically language
pertaining to some of the more difficult issues such as:  wind energy
installations, solar energy installations, and forest management.  I also
put out some feelers to those that might be able to present information to
the group on these types of topics.  They include NYS Dept of Ag and
Markets, a Hudson Valley based solar energy company, and the Hudson Valley
Chapter of the Society of American Foresters.  I got positive responses from
all.  The focus would likely be site selection and best management
practices.  This could definitely help inform easement language.

Questions for the group: 
Is this something that the group would still be interested in?  
Are there other issues that we might want to secure speakers for?  
Would we be interested in having our next meeting sometime in the latter
half of January/early February?
