Conservationists Talk Invasive Plants

First Winter Forum on Invasives at the Pound Ridge Library!

Last night's forum was very exciting! Over 50 residents showed up to hear what's happening to fight invasives in our area. We were amazed at the full house, especially since we were competing against the Patriots' game, the bad weather and Downton Abbey!

Pound Ridge resident, Barbara Gerson, Sandy Paget from the Henry Morgenthau Preserve, Tait Bushell from the Pound Ridge Land Conservancy and Mark Weckel from the Mianus River Gorge Preserve, each presented highly engaging talks about invasives. The panel was moderated by Gail Jankus, Chair of the Pound Ridge Conservation Board.

Help us continue the buzz! Our next event is a planning session on February 3 at 7 p.m. at the Pound Ridge Library. We know we are competing with the Super Bowl, but we should be able to get you home in time for the second half!

This is a terrific addition to town! I know I struggle with mounting piles of things to donate andRead More finding places to give to. With the Community Center and now Goodwill, great to find a second home for goods.

Okay but let's focus on the charter of the BOE. The Board of Education believes its primaryRead More responsibility should focus on creating an educational environment that will help our students become knowledgeable individuals, problem-solvers, quality producers, effective communicators, wholesome individuals, collaborative workers, ethical individuals, life-long learners, and responsible, accepting and involved citizens. We remain committed to providing a high quality, well-balanced educational program that supports our faculty and staff and helps our students meet and exceed State standards as well as high district goals. It says nothing about protecting the investments of taxpayers by voting "no" on every expenditure. We need forward thinking, broad minded individuals to help guide educational direction of our schools. Keeping expenses reasonable and and in check should be a consideration by the educational focus should be primary. Although novices, Trustees Tobin and Schiff have helped true the course of the board back to the direction of education. Mr Stone who himself admitted he had never even been to a BOE meeting before deciding to run offers no sense of motivation other than Dr Treyz and his friends think he'll help shift the direction back toward finance. Mr Holbrook is no different a candidate than Mr Lipton himself was 6 years ago.
