The 48th Annual Meeting of the Southeastern Massachusetts Chapter of the AMC will be held on Saturday, November 4, 2023 at The Bay Pointe Club in Buzzards Bay, MA. It will commence at 4:30 pm with a social hour and the chapters' Annual Meeting will be called to order at 5:30 PM. All SEM members and their friends are welcome to attend the Annual Meeting as well as anyone interested in becoming a member of our chapter. Following the official chapter business, there will be a buffet dinner and special guest speaker. There is no charge for attending either the Social Hour or the Annual Meeting. The cost of the buffet dinner and speaker is $35. This year our speaker will be Steve Tatko. Steve is the Appalachian Mountain Club's Vice President of Conservation Research and Land Management. Since joining AMC in 2012, Steve led the creation of the Land Department for the AMC's Maine Woods Initiative (MWI). As a licensed forester he oversees MWI's forestry operations, conservation acquisitions and finance, habitat restoration, watershed restoration, and recreation objectives on AMC's 100,000-acre ownership in the 100-Mile Wilderness region and AMC's northeastern Research Department. Steve is a native of northern Maine and is an avid outdoor enthusiast enjoying hunting, fishing, skiing, and canoeing. In his talk Steve will be reflecting on how this unique conservation model pioneered by AMC has helped to conserve a critical landscape and watershed in northern Maine. By putting ecology and communities first, AMC is forging a new framework for land conservation tailored to fit the 100-mile wilderness region. Make an afternoon of it by joining us before the meeting for other activities that will be held locally to The Bay Point Club. These will be listed separately closer to the event.
