Tree Symposium alternative A possible alternative was discussed to the Tree
Symposium, which experienced a decrease in attendees this year. It was discussed that a
smaller symposium — a Beetle Symposium — might be held on a half -day and be followed
by a series of "tree talks", possibly held in the evenings, held throughout the summer and
fall months.
Arboretum — possible GOCO planning grant Barb reported that the current cycle of
Great Outdoors Colorado grant funding has funds available for planning grants.
However, the deadline is Aug. 27, and a resolution by the Town Board would have to be
passed prior to applying for the grant, so it may need to be held off until the Spring, 2011
grant cycle. Rex Poggenpohl, Scott Roederer, Barbara Williams and Barb Boyer Buck
will meet next week to discuss a strategy for this project.
Goals for 2010-2011 Goals for 2011 include continuing tree education to the public,
pursuing funding for the arboretum, continuing to grow the Arbor Day celebration, and
the Legacy Tree Programs.
Replace Craig Adams Scott R. will try to find out why Craig Adams resigned and Barb
BB will contact Matthew Taylor to see if he is still interested in the position on the board.
Elect Officers for the Year It was decided to hold off on electing officers for the year
until all board members are present.
