Information, Comments, & Notes

the Chairman (Ron Rosen: 845/454-4936 or 454-1721 (leave a message if
not in) if you CANNOT attend.
2. As some of you are aware, the Westchester-Putnam Boy Scout Council
has in fact sold Camp Siwanoy to Tudor Jones, owner of Quaker Valley
Farms in Pawling. While he appears to be a conservation buyer, we need
to meet with him or his site manager and work out a long-term
relationship. At this meeting, we will discuss the items of concern,
including a possible recommendation to the National Park Service for
upgrading some or all of the NPS easements to fee ownership, and perhaps
adding a ROW to the Wiley Well site for vehicular access.
FYA items: Walt has provided us will updated Trail
Maintainer/Volunteer lists; these will be distributed to Supervisors at
this meeting.
FYI items:
- Scenic Hudson Community Events calendar, October 2002
