Conservancy Update - Fall 2024

By John Weber

The conservancy has been discussing and working with Mr. Richard Kaiser to establish a conservation easement across a portion of Harder Creek flowing into Half Moon Lake. Generally, all are in agreement in principle, there are several items that Mr. Kaiser would either like to include or not include in the easement description. After several iterations and discussions with County representatives, we have been advised that the County would not be able to hold that easement. That had always been the goal of the conservancy for it to be held by the county. Fortunately, several other options are possible. We now need to discuss with Mr. Kaiser to evaluate the advantages or disadvantages of each, and then obviously select one, before further proceeding. Work will continue, with an update provided later.
