Education of its members and the general public is a major goal
of the Linn Conservancy and is handled in a wide variety of ways.
- Through our videos, Vision of a Valley (13 minutes), Montandon Marsh: A Wonder in Our Backyard (20 minutes), and You Are What You Drink: Reasons to Know and Protect the Buffalo Creek Watershed (20 minutes) which are available for presentation to groups, overnight loan or purchase at $10 each. Copies of these videos are also in area public and school libraries.
- Through our office's lending library which includes several
hundred books including the scientific work done at area sites
such as a breeding bird survey and a hydrological study at the
Montandon Marsh as well as texts on land conservation options
and estate planning strategies.
- Through educational walks, trips, presentations,
and seminars
that are presented on an on-going basis for members
and the public.
The most current Linn Log has
the upcoming events as does the home page.
- Through our trail brochures and the Rural
Routes series one can learn of very special
sites to bike
or ride to.
- Through the columns in the Linn Log
and one that appears every other month in the Daily Item
one can learn of other members' thoughts about
environmental issues
such as light pollution or the personal satisfaction in having
a property protected forever.
- Through member attendance at regional, state and
national meetings
devoted to the latest thinking in land conservation issues such
as watershed protection and land conservation methods, one has
opportunities to better serve the Merrill W. Linn
Land & Waterways
Conservancy.
