Contingency efforts arc in place to ensure that alternate routes are offered to avoid everyone on one tour at the same time. Multiple tours will be offered concurrently to ensure active participation. Possible stops on the tour include a sugar bush and the._ Hullett Wildlife Conservation Arca. however these stops arc not planned for the tour thus far. Regele explains. based on prior meetings and records of Secretary. Carol Leeming. "this tour could end up being more than an afternoon tour of local farms." A country supper is planned to end the tour, after which it is likely "everyone will go home tired and ready for bed." A meeting is planned next month. Confirmation of the host farms. times and the number of participants anticipated will be discussed. Developments of this meeting should confirm some of the unknowns attached to the tour- in its early stages of planning. sz:.. Want to e-mail your Letters to the Editor?
