Land and Water Conservation Forum
April 17, 2015
The Gainesville Sun held a forum on land and water conservation, including a discussion of how state lawmakers are planning to spend Amendment 1 money.
The forum took place on March 19 at 7 p.m. at the University of Florida’s Pugh Hall.
The event included a panel discussion featuring Ramesh Buch, who manages the Alachua County Forever land conservation program; Greg Galpin, a Plum Creek timber company official who has worked on local conservation easements; Pegeen Hanrahan, former Gainesville mayor and deputy director of the Amendment 1 campaign; and Charlie Houder, who spent 28 years in public land acquisition and management with the Suwannee and St. Johns water management districts.
Sun Editorial Page Editor Nathan Crabbe moderated the discussion, with many audience questions as well.
