Thank you for your interview with Barb Yeaman. It brought back many fond memories of visiting Barb and Ed at her riverside farm in the 90's. She hosted a weekend campout and paddle trip for the Northeast Group Sierra Club for a number of years. Our campsite was beside the huge maple tree she discussed during the interview. And the Maple provided the umbrella for our wonderful potluck meals, including produce from Barb's garden. Sorry to hear the near-Champion maple died. We would shuttle upriver on Saturday and end the day's journey at Barb's farm, just upriver from the eel weir, which recently stopped operating. Then Sunday mornings we would continue to paddle downriver to Narrowsburg, where our shuttled vehicles waited. Those memories would not exist if it wasn't for Barb's tireless advocacy for the River and encouraging people to visit and explore the River's nooks and crannies. I want to offer my sincere gratitude to Barb for her good works. It is amazing that her dream of the Delaware Highlands Conservancy has flourished and conserved 20,000 acres since it's formation. Barb's example convinced me to work to establish a permanent 100 acre conservation easement for our Perry County farm called Greening Life Community. Knowing those acres can never be developed is a legacy for future generations. Finally: thank you Barb for reminding us of the inner Clown we all need to bring out. Too often we enviros are perceived and gruff and unfriendly. Making people smile is another of Barb's legacy. Happy Birthday Barb! Jeff Schmidt
