Please submit comments about the newsletter or items for inclusion to Liz Rank. For more information on the USFLN, please visit http://www.tncfire.org/training_usfln.htm or contact Lynn Decker. News: Jemez Tour / Burning Red Cedar / FLN at Conferences The Jemez Climate Change Adaptation Project is part of a week-long international climate exchange study tour taking place this week. The tour, co-sponsored by the Forest Service, Comision Nacional de Areas Naturales Protegidas and the Fonda Mexicano para la Conservación de la Naturaleza, will allow managers from the US and Mexico to share strategies and lessons learned in their respective protected areas. The Jemez portion of the tour will include discussion of restoration on a large scale, and a visit to a carbon flux monitoring tower. In his weekly “Friday message” (attached), Nebraska State Conservationist Steve Chick gave kudos to Middle Niobrara Coordinating Wildlife Biologist Sandy Benson for coordinating a series of successful prescribed burns to manage red cedar. As is the case with much of the Great Plains FLN’s work, volunteer fire departments and private landowners were key partners. Marek Smith is on the program of the Southern Appalachian Man & the Biosphere (SAMAB) conference being held in Gatlinburg, TN on November 16-18. The conference will focus on climate change and on-the-ground means for addressing it in the southern Appalachians. Marek will discuss the work of both the Appalachian and Southern Blue Ridge FLNs.

  • Woodruff Arts Center
    WOODRUFF ARTS CENTER The Robert W. Woodruff Arts Center has been described as “the heartbeat of Atlanta’s arts community,” which is one reason why Tnemec coatings were chosen to resuscitate the exterior aesthet- ics of its main campus in 2005. “The project required applying a new coating system over existing paint,” recalled Tnemec coating consultant Dean Drehoff. “The architect felt confident that the Tnemec coating system would provide the long-term protection and aesthetics that were needed for this high-profile project in midtown Atlanta.” The center’s cementitious exterior was power-washed at 2,500 psi. Series 151-1051 Elasto-Grip FC, a waterborne polyamine ep- oxy which is excellent as a tie-coat for specialized finishes over sound existing coatings, was roller-applied and topped with two coats of Series 156 Enviro-Crete, a waterborne acrylate. “Envi- ro-Crete is a very good exterior coating that is ideal for protecting concrete and masonry substrates from weathering, alternating freeze/thaw cycles and ultra-violet light,” Drehoff noted.

As part of the Imagine Downtown process, JSA was publicized as one of five focus areas requiring planning attention. Dates and times of all public events were posted on the Central Atlanta Progress website (www.atlantadowntown.com). E-mail comments were welcomed and encouraged. Several questions in the online ‘Imagine Survey’ were directed toward development in the JSA-McGill corridor. The centerpieces of the public involvement process were three public workshops; the second being a three-day long ‘Charette Week’ designed to build awareness and excitement through an intense set of collaborative exercises. 2.1.1 Public Workshop 1 The first public workshop was held on August 19, 2003 on the 27th floor of SunTrust Tower; over 200 persons attended. The purpose was to kick off the JSA-McGill LCI process by introducing the project and the team, and to conduct interactive exercises to gauge the initial level of consensus on issues and priorities. The workshop opened with a welcome and introduction by representatives of Central Atlanta Progress, and continued with words and graphics describing the developing programs and potential impact of both the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola.
