Welcome to the first issue
of a newsletter/e-letter intended to give you the timely information
needed to make your experience as a small acreage owner enjoyable
and successful. The plan is for this newsletter to be posted quarterly,
giving you a “heads up” on seasonal topics you should be planning
for as you work to develop and maintain your property. We’ll also
cover breaking news that might affect how you live and work on your
land.
Initially, the newsletter
will be posted to the Colorado State University Extension
– Adams County website in February, April, July and October. I will
send a reminder directly to cooperators via e-mail with the link when
the new edition is posted. If you received notification of this first
newsletter, I have your e-mail address from working with you on some
type of small acreage question. Please e-mail this link to friends
and acquaintances with small acreages or who might be considering
purchasing acreage. They can then let me know if they would like to
be added to the “E-mail address list”. Please let me know if your
e-mail address changes, by sending your name and NEW e-mail address
to tgourd@co.adams.co.us
Please enjoy this newsletter.
I hope you find it a valuable resource in managing your small acreage.
