As you know from our previous discussion, this is action that is timely for fall planting activities, and could create a significant and meaningful action to reduce regulations while advancing conservation and empowering individuals and local communities to act. These dates work well for our team to come - and we hope can work for you. This meeting would give us an opportunity to move beyond the introduction of the idea and to start to lay the groundwork for action. We all know that it will take several steps, but if we are to complete action in time for the private sector to implement action during the fall planting window there is some urgency to drive this ahead. We hope this can work for you.
