Thank you to Ken Messinger-Rapport for providing this write-up.
FOEC members and officers were among many local arborists, city service employees, State EPA and Ohio Department of Natural Resources representatives, and private citizens who attended the first ever ReLeaf conference held within the Euclid Creek Watershed this past January 19. The purpose of the program was threefold:
- to introduce members of the watershed stakeholder community to the representatives of the Cuyahoga River Community Planning organization and the State Department of Natural Resources who will be administering and directing the federally funded Great Lakes Restoration Initiative program aimed at implementing various remediation projects to restore the environmental vitality of the Great Lakes eco-system
- to present information about the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and the grants that will be available to organizations such as the FOEC to implement local remediation projects
- to gather information about the geography of the local area from the attendees so that grant monies for projects can be appropriately directed
