The Poughkeepsie Journal has a weekly feature called "On the Job" that
profiles what a job involves, including the work, training, etc.
Yesterday's column featured a Municipal Historian:

Also, a while back, Peter K featured a RAIN article about documents
related to a company that wanted to develop a beautiful ridge area in
Ulster County NY (across the river from us), which would have caused
adverse environmental effects, etc., etc. "Advocates said the most
important thing about preserving the property was it maintains
continuity in a roughly 28,000-acre chestnut oak forest. Some resident
species of wildlife, such as the weasel-like fisher, require large
unfragmented forests to thrive. The chestnut oak forest also buffers a
pitch pine forest on the top of the ridge that harbors rare species and
is itself considered globally rare."  One person on the list mentioned
that he was from that area; probably the rest of you have forgotten it.
But today's paper announced that the deal is off, and the land is being
added to the Minnewaska State Park:
