Greetings everyone,
The West Virginia Land Trust http://www.wvlandtrust.org/index.html, represented by Brent Bailey and Rick Landenberger, would like to invite you to a 'meeting of minds' addressing green space opportunities in Monongalia County next Thursday, July 31 from 5 to 7 PM. The focus will be on the green space system in and around Morgantown, but we will consider other Monongalia County green spaces as well. In particular we would like to discuss opportunities to both /connect/ existing green spaces, and /expand/ the system where opportunities exist.
Attached is a draft agenda to guide the discussions. Please feel free to pass it around /and invite like-minded people in your respective circles/. I am searching for an appropriate meeting location, and will email the group when that's finalized. In the meantime, put on your green space hats and consider what a 21^st Century Mon County Green Space System might look like. The possibilities are pretty exciting.
Please RSVP and let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Rick
