South End Communities encouraged to attend; everyone welcome!
Your Help Needed to update the Cayuga Lake Watershed Plan Thursday August 13th, 5-7 pm Court Room, Ulysses Town Hall 10 Elm St., Trumansburg NY REFRESHMENTS SERVED This public meeting seeks input from year-round and summer residents for an update of the Cayuga Lake Watershed Plan, being carried out 2015-6. Members of the public will learn about the original plan and be asked to provide unique personal knowledge and input for the updated plan. Light refreshments served. An updated plan will help the watershed's municipalities improve water quality. A new plan will also aid our towns, villages, and cities in applying for funding to repair and upgrade water projects in towns and villages around the lake. The public's input provides guidance to our communities in protecting our lake and creeks over the next 10-20 years. If you can't attend but want to give input and advice, please send an email message to stew...@cayugalake.org or leave a phone message at 607 229-9870 to receive a link to an online questionnaire, to be filled out at any time. You will be notified when the link goes live. The Intermunicipal Organization (IO), formed in 1999 to help Cayuga Lake communities work together to protect the lake and its watershed, is leading this planning effort. The original 2001 plan, formally named the Cayuga Lake Watershed Restoration and Protection Plan, can be viewed at the IO's website: http://www.cayugawatershed.org/ . See a map of the Cayuga Lake watershed here: http://www.cayugalake.org/map-of-the-cayuga-lake-watershed.html This plan is funded by the NYS Department of State through the Title 11 Environmental Protection Fund. ### Hilary Lambert, Steward/Executive Director Cayuga Lake Watershed Network POB 348 Aurora NY 13026 "It takes a Network to protect a watershed" www.cayugalake.org --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus For more information about sustainability in the Tompkins County area, please visit: http://www.sustainabletompkins.org/ If you have questions about this list please contact the list manager, Tom Shelley, at t...@cornell.edu.
