SUMMARY:Community Preservation and Farmland Protection in Ulster County: Seminar and Training

During his 21-year tenure as Supervisor for the Town of Warwick\, Sweeton led a successful Community Preservation Program which to date has resulted in the protection of 5\,000 acres of land\, including 38 working farms. The town has served as a case study for municipalities across the country that seek to replicate the success of their preservation program. \n\n\n\nSession 2: Farmland Protection Implementation Grant Program\, presented by David Behm\, Program Manager with the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets. This session will cover the various aspects of the Farmland Protection Implementation Grant (FPIG) program\, which provides financial assistance to counties\, municipalities\, soil and water conservation districts\, and land trusts to enable them to implement farmland protection activities consistent with local agricultural and farmland protection plans\, including the purchase of development rights (PDR) on individual farms. \n\n\n\nBoth sessions will end with two breakout discussions where attendees can ask specific questions of the presenters. \n\n\n\nLunch will be served.
