Join the San Juan County Conservation Land Bank for a public scoping meeting on March 19, 2024, and help shape the Watmough Preserve Stewardship and Management Plan (SMP), which includes the Watmough addition (aka “the Higgins Property”).
“These scoping meetings are a great opportunity for our community to inform the stewardship and management plan, and we look forward to engaging with all who participate in this phase of the planning process,” said Land Bank Commissioner Peggy Bill.
The meeting will take place from 4pm to 6pm at the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts. The public is encouraged to help identify issues or concerns that should be addressed in the planning process.
Can’t make the meeting in person? Meeting materials will be posted on the Land Bank website the Friday prior to the meeting. Written comments can be submitted by email to tanjaw@sjclandbank.org.
