GOCO Grant
Barb reported that the grant request was denied from GOCO. She has a call in to fmd out why
and to get advice on how to revise it for next time. Discussion of this is postponed until we have
additional information from GOCO.
Recap of Beetle Symposium
Everyone agreed that the event was well attended and had great topics and speakers.
Rex reported that he had heard several vendors complain because they were not included in the
event. Barb BB reported that they were all invited to provide literature to hand out, but only two
took advantage of that. Barb Williams said that there should have been two shorter breaks
instead of one long break and that we should have had coffee.
Everyone especially noted that the HOA presentations were great. It was suggested to that Barb
BB put this information in an abbreviated newsletter that can be distributed to HOAs.
Tree Talk Topics
The Tree Talks are tentatively slated for June 27, August and September. Dave Schulze will be
approached to speak on "Plant Selection for the Estes Valley" (the June presentation). Rex
Poggenpohl said that he would introduce the speaker for this event. Barb will confirm dates
available for the Tree Talks and reserve the Town Hall Board Room for all three events, and
confirm AV arrangements.
In August, Sue Pinkham will lead a panel on wildfire prevention and in September, CSFS will be
asked to speak on Forest Stewardship and Fall Beetle Mitigation.
New Business
The Tree Board usually does not meet in July, but it was decided to meet on July 15, 2011 at 9
am.
