A good run
AUBURN — Jim Hotaling started working with the Cayuga County Soil and Water Conservation District as a technician holding a survey rod. More than 43 year later, he retired as executive director Friday.
There have been plenty of other changes in the district that has five times as many staff as it did in 1964. Hotaling said the key remains creating conservation programs at the local level that serve needs in the county.
The district has routinely preceded or trumped state and federal requirements with locally developed programs, Hotaling said. An aquatic weed control project created in the mid-1970s to combat milfoil in Cayuga Lake is one early example.
