Westchester Land Trust conference and more

October
29

Open space protection isn’t just for northern Westchester County. The Westchester Land Trust will point this out at its ‘08 Open Space Conference next month.

“The conference is intended to help communities in southern and central Westchester increase the amount of environmentally important lands they protect while also helping north county communities continue their successes.”

State parks commissioner Carol Ash is the keynote speaker.

On Sunday (11/2), the land trust has an educational treasure hunt planned at its Frederick P. Rose Preserve in Cross River. Looks like a family-friendly, fun educational ramble through the preserve’s 110 acres.

Also, the trust’s seventh annual photo show opens Nov. 7.
