Please join us Tuesday, November 18th at 6:30 pm to socialize. 7:00 pm our formal meeting will begin with our guest speaker, Alan Madewell, Director of Environmental Field Support for the Carolinas at Duke Energy Corporation in Charlotte, North Carolina. We will be meeting at the same location, the Community Services Building (106 E. Morgan St. Brevard, NC).
Alan will share information about Duke Energy’s pollinator programs and how the company works to manage environmental impacts when planning projects. He’ll also discuss how they use geo-spatial data to review various environmental “layers,” such as wetlands, federal lands, and areas with threatened or endangered species.
At this time, Duke Energy doesn’t have specific data on domestic beekeepers or apiary locations. Alan is eager to hear from our group — to learn about your concerns, experiences, and resources, and to consider how this information might help guide future projects.
We’re looking forward to a great discussion! Hope to see you next Tuesday evening!
