AVIATION

MARK ROBIDOUX

Mark Robidoux is the founder and President of PilotWorkshops.com,  the premier on-line training resource for pilots. He has also been a LightHawk Volunteer Pilot for the past several years. Mark will make a brief presentation and then lead a discussion among all the pilots around issues important to flying LightHawk missions.  This will be a great opportunity to discuss flying with Mark and other LightHawk pilots.  Mark will bring to the discussion a breath and depth of aviation knowledge that come from almost 30 years of flying and daily interaction with an all-star team of flight instructors.

Visit the “About” section at www.pilotworkshop.com and you will see an impressive list of flight instructors who help Mark’s team prepare their nationally acclaimed training courses and manuals.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to take part in some serious “hanger flying” with like minded pilots. There will be a lot of experience and expertise in the room.

CONSERVATION

SALLY NASSER

Sally Nasser is the Conservation Restriction Stewardship Director at The Trustees of Reservations. The Trustees of Reservations hold 393 Conservation Restrictions – comprising more than 20,000 acres – which connect and protect 54 Trustees reservations across Massachusetts. The Trustees are the largest private holder of conservation restrictions in the state, second only to public holders the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) and the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game (DFG). Conservation Restrictions need to be monitored on a yearly basis. Thorough and timely CR monitoring is perhaps the single most important activity of responsible CR stewardship. Sally leads this annual effort utilizing available tools which include aerial monitoring.
