Union County Agricultural Land Preservation Board Reorganizes, Schedules Five Public Meetings

The Union County Agricultural Land Preservation Board met on January 24 to reorganize and set its 2026 meeting schedule, laying out five opportunities for residents to attend and engage with local land-preservation work. The board’s reorganization and calendar-setting clarify where and when matters related to agricultural land in the county will be discussed.

The board announced five regular meetings, scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM at the Union County Government Center, 155 North 15th Street, Lewisburg, PA, in the Conservation District. The dates listed in the public notice are March 16, May 19, July 21, September 21, and November 16. The notice, posted in The Daily Item public notices, specifies that the public is welcome to attend.

For Union County farmers, landowners, and conservation-minded residents, the schedule provides concrete opportunities to follow discussions about preservation priorities and any administrative actions the board may take. Holding meetings at the county Government Center centralizes access for Lewisburg-area residents while also signaling the local government's role in coordinating conservation efforts. Public attendance allows community members to observe proceedings, raise concerns, or learn how land-preservation processes are administered at the county level.

The Agricultural Land Preservation Board typically serves as the local forum where preservation program decisions and procedural matters are considered. With a clear timetable, property owners who are contemplating preservation options or who wish to monitor county activity can plan to participate in person. Meeting times and locations are especially relevant for those coordinating schedules around planting and harvest seasons or for residents traveling from more remote parts of the county.

The board’s notice in The Daily Item fulfills public-notice requirements and helps ensure transparency. Residents who cannot attend in person should watch local channels for future announcements from the county and the Conservation District about agenda items or any changes to the published schedule.

As the year progresses, the meetings will provide the public a direct line to local decision-making about agricultural land use and preservation in Union County. Interested community members should mark the March 16 meeting on their calendars and consider attending at 7:00 PM at 155 North 15th Street in Lewisburg to hear the board’s priorities for the year and to make their perspectives known.
