The past several months have been productive. In fact, I can’t recall a period when I have accomplished more. We have ginned out three major reports, organized my images into a major on-line gallery, traveled throughout the Caribbean to gather information for my report on Key Biodiversity Areas, and have spoken at a number of events and conferences including the National Extension Conference on Tourism in Detroit. As I write this quick update I am finishing interpretive plans for the eleven scenic byways in Kansas.

In the next few weeks I will be on the speaking trail again. I will be in Toledo in early November to conduct workshops for the Toledo Metroparks, then I will continue to the Pennsylvania to speak at the Schuylkill Highlands CLI annual breakfast. In January I will join The Conservation Fund and Ed McMahon for the first of two Appalachian Gateway Communities Regional Workshops. The first of the workshops will be held January 14-16, 2014, in Abingdon, VA (southern communities), with the second February 10-12, 2014 in Shepherdstown, WV for northern communities. Here is a link for additional information about these workshops.

Here are links to some of the work that has been produced these past few months.

For those interested in my photography, I have created a new website from my imagery at this link. Check out the new portfolios for our clients and projects. Look for much, much more in the near future.

One last note. Here is a link to a recent article covering our project in the PA Wilds. What a wonderful story! I can’t think of a nicer group of people to be having such success.

 

Fermata End-of-the-Year News

Let us begin with wishing all of you a happy holiday season. We doubt that any of us will forget 2010, as hard as we may try! Here hoping for a productive, peaceful, prosperous 2011.

We have recently posted a new podcast and two PowerPoints to our Podcast and Presentation page. The podcast is a recording of Ted’s October talk to a group gathered in Beckley, West Virginia. The conference, titled Reaching the Summit: Balancing Commerce and Nature in the New River Gorge Region, is one of the Conservation Fund’s Balancing Nature and Commerce workshops where Ted periodically speaks. We have posted Ted’s PowerPoint from that conference as well.

The PA Wilds continues to be in the news. The latest newsletter from the PA Wilds Resource Center is now available here.

Fermata’s Great American Trails has now created its third SmartTrail – the Tidal Delaware River Water Trail. The SmartTrail app is available for the iPhone, Android, and Blackberry platforms. More detailed information is available on the Great American Trails page in this blog.
