As the Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, executive director John Jablonski III spoke before the Jamestown Noon Rotary Club to detail some of his organization's work. Over the years, the CWC has led conservation efforts to preserve more than 796 acres of land across Chautauqua County and 2 miles of shoreline around Chautauqua Lake and its outlet. Among other projects, Jablonski said the organization is now working to put conservation measures in place to protect 21 acres on Hoag Road and 35 acres near the intersection of Route 394 and Fardink Road. In addition, several erosion control projects are either under way or in the planning stages for various tributaries of Chautauqua Lake. Jablonski is pictured above with Doug Conroe, the sergeant-at-arms of the Jamestown Noon Rotary Club and a member of the CWC board of directors, and Gary Padak, the vice-president of the Jamestown Noon Rotary Club.
