The CMC is proud to announce a new public program that will address topics of interest to members of the entire Catskills community. The inaugural Catskills Roundtable will be held on May 10th at the Mountain Top Arboretum in Tannersville. Our guest speaker will be Ms. Katie Petronis, Deputy Commissioner for Natural Resources at NYSDEC. She will provide an overview of DEC’s current and future management activities in the Catskill Park. These include work that’s been completed on the ecological impacts of increased hiking to the trailless high peaks, as well as the Kaaterskill Area Visitor Use Management Study. Following the overview, the bulk of the session will be devoted to questions and answers, and group discussion.

The event is free, and the Arboretum will be open to the public for touring prior to the Roundtable, which will be held from 2 - 4 PM. Light refreshments will be served. Registration is required due to limited space.
