My presentation session "Conservation Partnerships for Parks &Recreation"will <br /> be one of ten sessions to be streamed"live"chosen from a total of 300-sessions that will be available <br /> during the conference. <br /> My session will describe how the greatest conservation successes occur in collaboration with <br /> nonprofit partners. It will review two case study and best practices examples from Elk River <br /> (William H. Houlton Conservation Area) and Mecklenburg County, Charlotte NC. The Trust for <br /> Public Land speaker will be from the TPL Washington DC office. <br /> Riverfront Concert Series at Rivers Edge Commons Park <br /> The Riverfront Concert Series in the new expanded Rivers Edge Commons Park went very well.All <br /> of the bands and the concert attendees provided positive comments regarding the new design. We <br /> did not get any complaints or negative comments. It seems that the park can comfortably sit 2,000 <br /> patrons. The highest attended concerts of the season were the Fabulous Armadillos (8/10) and <br /> Arch Allies (8/24) with an estimated crowd of over 2,000. <br /> N:\Departments\Parks and Recreation\Commission\Packets\2017\09-13-17 PRC Packet\Director's Report 9-13-17.docx <br />
