Cory Ritterbusch of Prairie Works, Inc., Landscape Environmental Contractor
&
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2007 at 9:10 AM
Chris Kirkpatrick, Natural Resource Coordinator, JoDaviess Conservation Foundation & University of Illinois Extension Service Consultant

The Conservation Committee has invited Mr. Ritterbusch and Mr. Kirkpatrick
to make their respective presentations as part of the
Committee's quest for an understanding of how to best manage our
Greenways to preserve the existing natural woods character of most of our shoreline,
to achieve beneficial filtering to protect our lake contaminants in run-off,
to prevent soil erosion into our lake and at the same time satisfy Property Owners desires for views of the lake.  The committee believes that with proper management all of these objectives can be compatible.

Mr. Ritterbusch, as a Landscape Environmental Contractor,
will be speaking on October 27th to the different actions that can be undertaken and
give guidelines as to their respective costs.

Mr. Kirkpatrick, as a Consultant, will be speaking on November 17th
to what actions should be undertaken and how such actions can be managed to be fair to all and in the best interests of the A.C.L.P.O.A. as a whole.

Each presentation is expected to include a power point showing and last approximately 45 minutes, to be followed by an approximately 15 minute question and answer session during which Property Owners can ask questions regarding private property as well as Greenway. At the conclusion the Committee will resume its scheduled business.
