TO: CONSERVATION BOARD MEMBERS
FROM: MICHAEL SMITH, SENIOR PLANNER
DATE: MARCH 28, 2019
SUBJECT: UPCOMING CONSERVATION BOARD MEETING – APRIL 4, 2019
This is to confirm that the next meeting of the Conservation Board (CB) is Thursday,
April 4th at 5:30 p.m. The agenda for this meeting is enclosed (see the back of this
memo). The draft minutes from the March meeting were not available to include in the
packet.
At this meeting we will start to plan for the Fischer Award tree planting ceremony to
honor the NYS Hemlock Initiative. I have been in contact with Joe Talbut at Public
Works and there are a few potential planting locations along the East Ithaca Recreation
Way to consider and he has contacted a couple nurseries about potential native trees
available in the size the CB usually plants. I will have more information at the meeting.
We will also continue to discuss ideas for a 2019 Earth Day activity.
Lindsay has signed up to take minutes at the April meeting.
If you have any questions prior to the meeting or are not able to attend, please contact
