You are cordially invited to the American Maple Museum in Croghan, New York, to view a presentation on the finalized Black River Watershed Management Plan (Plan). This event will take place on Wednesday, March 17, 2010.
The gathering will begin at 4:00 pm with opening words from local officials and project sponsors. A formal presentation by the project consultant will start at 4:30 pm and a question and answer period will follow. After the discussion period, participants can enjoy light refreshments and take a self-guided tour of the Maple Museum. Participants, including those not able to attend the formal presentation, will also be able to view final documents and speak with project partners about the Plan. All attendees will also be entered into a door prize drawing to win a gallon of Lewis County maple syrup.
Development of the Plan has been funded through the New York State Department of State Division of Coastal Resources, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Senator Griffo and the Beaver River/Black River Advisory Council. The project sponsor is the Town of Grieg, the project manager is the Lewis County Soil and Water Conservation District and project partners include the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and the NYS Tug Hill Commission. Numerous citizens, local officials and non-governmental organizations have provided detailed comments and suggestions at several stages of the Plan's development. We are grateful to everyone who has participated in this effort; your time, energy, commitment and knowledge have made completion of the Plan possible.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact me or Nichelle Billhardt at 315-376-6122.
