2011 CONSERVATION and SUSTAINABLE LIVING EXPO

Mark your calendars!!  This year’s Conservation Expo will be held on Saturday, February 26^th from 9am-3pm.  It will be held at the Albany County Fairgrounds.  This year we are adding some new elements to the Expo.  We will be holding a panel discussion on conservation easements aimed at agricultural producers.  Please call for more information.  Also this year, we have invited several exhibitors to show sustainable living skills and efforts.  We will have hands-on exhibits demonstrating topics such as gardening, composting, composting with worms, spinning wool, keeping chickens and other self sustaining skills.  Also, wind turbines and solar panels, green building companies, landscaping companies, and various non-profit organizations.  If you would like to be a part of the Expo, booth space is free and we would love to hear from you.  Call Liz Harvey or Tony Hoch at 721-0072.  We hope to see you all there.
