Our guest Speaker is Chris Leswing.

Chris Leswing is the LMT Assistant Director of Building and Planning. He will update us on development of the new township comprehensive plan, still a work in progress.

He will describe some of the plan's exciting elements, such as the "emerald necklace" trails proposals and implementation of the R-6 rail-to-trail along the Schuylkilll River. Completion of the plan is expected to take another couple of years, so League members will have a chance to continue taking part in this vital process for shaping our township's future.

We will also be celebrating a 50 year member, Elizabeth McLean. Thank you Elizabeth!

Mrs. McLean joined the League in April 1958, and has been an active supporter ever since.

With her husband, William, also a League member since 1987, she has been active in promoting and supporting "green" projects, both locally and statewide.  The McLeans were the first in Lower Merion Township to dedicate a conservation easement when they subdivided their large property in the early 1980's; this easement is held by the Brandywine Conservancy, so the property can never be built on.  Elizabeth lectures on horticulture, and frequently opens her extensive garden in Wynnewood for tours.

The McLeans have also endowed the McLean Library at the headquarters of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society in Philadelphia,  where Elizabeth is a frequent lecturer.
