At its May meeting, NeighborSpace welcomed three new board members:
Carolyn Cecil, a licensed clinical social worker who is active in various conservation projects in and around Idlewylde, where she lives. Carolyn has already volunteered on several spring projects, including efforts to clean up the NeighborSpace Beech Avenue site in Overlea in preparation for community meetings to discuss the site's future uses and related design elements. NeighborSpace hopes to tap Carolyn's expertise in advancing its work on food insecurity and disconnected youth.
Tim Beadell, a land acquisitions specialist at Resource Environmental Solutions, a firm providing ecological restoration and water resource solutions. Tim lives in Glenarm and is active with the non-profit Ducks Unlimited, which is focused on the conservation of wetlands and associated upland habitats for waterfowl and other wildlife. NeighborSpace will look to Tim for expertise in evaluating conservation and stewardship projects.
Eric Lamb, a lawyer from Catonsville who previously served on the County Planning Board. Eric is the founding owner of Property Title & Escrow, has broad expertise in real estate law, and is active in the Catonsville community. NeighborSpace will look to Eric for expertise in evaluating conservation projects and advancing open space policies.
Carolyn, Tim and Eric join 10 other members of the NeighborSpace Board of Directors with backgrounds in architecture, landscape architecture, planning, real estate, finance, community activism, and academia. You can learn more about them here. If you have an interest in becoming more involved with NeighborSpace, we would welcome your inquiry here.
I sent this email to Barbara@neighborspacebaltimorecounty.com yet it bounced back so obviously I have her wrong email. Please direct appropriately and thank you.
Hello Barbara
I hope you and yours are doing as well as possible amidst our trauma these days.
We live at 162 Stanmore Road. I am contacting you after a conversation with Ann Jones about a process to protect the land behind our string of row homes which is State property under the University systems. 4 neighbors of mine have cared for the property mentioned for over 30 years via mowing, planting, grooming etc. One neighbor, who has land title experience, has all the documentation on the land ownership and title. Towson University had maintained a portion of it but the current groundskeeper no longer handles this aspect of grounds-keeping maintenance. We have made agreements with TU on leasing and holding insurance on each of our parcels behind our houses for over ten years.
We would like to establish a trust in my son’s name for land preservation and maintenance of the fields in perpetuity. My neighbors are in agreement with this plan. Ann believes you may offer help in how to establish some steps forward towards securing this land in preservation trust.
Thank you. I look forward to hearing from you please.
Best wishes for wellness
Teri
