Randall Arendt to speak at Land Trust dinner As you well know, the rural character and natural landscapes that attract many home buyers to townships are being lost. Most townships adopt conventional or- dinances which establish a set of rules for the orderly conver- sion of natural lands and open space into devel- oped properties. In these com- munities, every acre of buildable land is zoned to become houselots and streets, strip malls, or office parks. - It may have taken 10 to 20 years in some areas, but parcel by parcel, townships that have relied on conventional zoning have found that they ultimately become blan- keted with “wall-to-wall develop- ments.” Fortunately, practical alterna- tive to conventional zoning do in fact exist, and one of the princi- pal techniques for conserving natural lands and open space is the subject of an upcoming din- ner sponsored by the Back Moun- RANDALL ARENDT tain Regional Land Trust, the NEPA Community Tree Associa- tion, The Times Leader, Core States Bank, and Commonwealth Telephone. Spend “An Evening With Randall Arendt - Creating Open Space Networks” will be held on Fri., March 21, Genetti Hotel & Convention Center in Wilkes- Barre. The evening begins at 6 p.m. with a slide presentation fol- lowing dinner, all for the low cost of $20 per person. Award winning author, lecturer and rural town planner, Mr. Randall Arendt of Natural Land Trusts, Inc. will be presenting techniques that create networks of open space while allowing for development and growth. If you are a municipal official, planner, developer, or a concerned citizen interested in preserving open spaces and the rural character of your commuity, then don’t miss this lecture.
