Dec
1, 2009: Constitution
Dec
1, 2009: Streamkeepers
Dec
1, 2009: Forest Demo
|
At the
2009 AGM, Dec 1, 1009, 3 resolutions were passed by the membership:
1)
Revising Section 2 of the Constitution to align
the Society's stated purposes more accurately with FORR's
intention to be inclusive of all those concerned with the diverse
values and uses in the Rossland Range and to provide better
clarity about the range of actual activities the Society might
undertake.
2)
Empowering the Board to establish, within certain guidelines, a
Streamkeepers' function which would help fulfil FORR objectives
relating to stewardship of natural values in the Rossland Range,
and public education about the importance of our natural backyard.
Streamkeepers, like FORR mountain hikes and heritage displays,
would be an opportunity to engage people in Rossland in activities
that both satisfy and enlighten.
3)
Directing
the Board to investigate a "Forest Demo Project", which
may possibly result in a forest interpretation trail (or trails,
or route) with interpretive signage, e.g. forest type and history,
ecological significance, issues to watch for (wildlife, beetles,
weeds, etc.), forestry history and rationale, etc. The
interpretive site could be used for guided trips (like the hikes
FORR presently leads) as well as self-guided tours.
