Watershed Conservancy To Meet
7/12/2007 - The public is invited to attend the Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy's annual meeting on Sunday, July 22 at the Captain's Table at Webb's Lake Resort, Route 394 in Mayville. All Conservancy members and persons interested in maintaining healthy lakes and ecology of the region are encouraged to attend. The annual meeting will begin with a reception at 5:00 p.m., a business meeting and awards presentation at 5:30 p.m., a buffet dinner at 6:30 p.m. followed by a keynote speech. The guest speaker for this year's annual meeting is Paul Lord, a Cornell University Research Ponds and Chautauqua Lake scientist/researcher, who has been studying the use of insects to control nuisance plants in Chautauqua Lake. His presentation will be entitled: "Land Use and Fishery Impacts on Lake Plant Growth." In addition to his plant-insect research on Chautauqua and other lakes, Mr. Lord has a study underway using game fish to control nuisance Eurasian watermilfoil plant growth on a lake in central New York. A dynamic speaker, Mr. Lord brings a wealth of lake and watershed management experience to this presentation. He is the president of the Otsego Lake Association, serves on the board of directors for the Northeast Aquatic Plant Management Association, is the chairman for the Town of Otsego planning board, and is a regular presenter at annual New York State Federation of Lakes conferences. He has performed aquatic plant surveys across New York State. Mr. Lord was the featured speaker on a Conservancy watershed video distributed to local officials and aired numerous times on public access television over the last four years.
At the annual meeting, attendees will: 1) learn about and celebrate the Conservancy's watershed land conservation and education accomplishments, as well as other efforts addressing the root causes of the lake's sedimentation and nuisance plant and algae growth; 2) recognize the important people and organizations who volunteer to deliver the CWC's mission; and 3) have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the Conservancy's initiatives and programs.
