COSAC finalizes outreach letter and plans landowner workshop, targets 150 landowners
Loading...
Summary
Committee approved moving forward with a targeted outreach mailing (approximately 150 landowners representing ~36,000 acres), agreed to personalize letters and maps, and committed to presenting at the February 4 conservation fair and organizing a landowner workshop this spring or summer.
Cache County’s Open Space Advisory Committee approved advancing a targeted outreach letter and map to about 150 landowners to promote the county conservation easement program and encourage applications.
Speaker 3 said the deduped mailing list contains roughly 150 landowner contacts representing about 36,000 acres. Committee members discussed personalization methods (mail‑merge into Word to show property owner names, recognizing many records are LLCs or trusts) and agreed county branding and a map would increase recipients’ likelihood of opening the mailing.
Staff (Speaker 2) agreed to assist with mail merge and to provide an editable version of the packet; Speaker 1 asked members to offer help with logistics if needed. The committee also agreed to present information at the February 4 Conservation Fair and to consider a separate landowner workshop in spring or summer to explain the program and answer questions.
Members discussed targeting Green Belt money and other small‑parcel strategies so 10–15 acre properties that typically don’t attract larger NRCS or state funding can still participate; Speaker 1 suggested trialing targeted messaging in county tax statement mailings in a later phase.
What’s next: Staff will prepare an editable outreach packet for mail merge, circulate the finalized mailing list and map, and the committee will present a short program and operate a booth at the February 4 Conservation Fair.
