    <http://catskillmountainkeeper.org/node/80>


    *Catskill Mountainkeeper Co-Sponsored Two Educational Forums*

*with experts from the Sullivan County Division of Planning and 
Environmental Management, Oil and Gas Accountability Project as well as 
experts on law and community organizing* 

<http://www.midhudsonnews.com/News/June08/28/SC_natgas-28Jun08.html>The 
pace of gas drilling in New York State and its potential in the Upper 
Delaware Region has many property owners and municipal officials asking 
questions about the impacts of drilling on the environment, how gas 
leases should be written to protect the interests of property owners, 
and what regulations and land use approaches are available to protect 
the health and safety of local residents.

The Forums took place on Thursday, June 26 at the Walton Theater in 
Walton, NY, Delaware County and June 27th at the Liberty Highschool in 
Liberty, NY in Sullivan County.  The purpose of these educational forums 
was to cover these issues and offer case examples.
