OUR MISSION STATEMENT:

The mission of our association is to promote, protect and preserve the picturesque area that surrounds South Bristol and the Naples Valley. By doing so, we hope to support one of our region’s strongest economic assets – the scenic hillsides and natural beauty of the landscape.

We currently oppose the installation of a 100-foot wide swath of power lines 16 miles long, 65 feet in the air. We believe this RG&E-NYSEG plan risks harming an already weak economy and poses a threat to the environment.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

You can help! Stand with us. Act now.

Tell RGE-NYSEG to find a better solution.
If you care about the look, feel and future of the Naples Valley and the Bristol Hills, please join us.

All are welcome to join Naples Valley Bristol Hills Association in our mission to protect the Naples Valley and Bristol Hills. To join our association or for more information, please contact us at: nvbhagroup@gmail.com
We love this area and want to preserve its beauty and value. Many of us call this area home. Some of us grew up here and many are raising our families here. Others have moved here for the quality of life or to enjoy a second home. For many thousands more, Naples and the Bristol Hills are a place to come to spend a day or more — for fishing, camping, skiing, hiking, hunting or just enjoying a drive in the country with a stop for grape pie.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE...SUPPORT SENATOR ALESI'S BILL FOR AN 18 MONTH MORATORIUM ON WIND FARM CONSTRUCTION.....

S4608 has been reintroduced.

Most of the elections in New York State in November resulted in many elected officials that voice the same concerns introduced in this bill. It is imperative that all Assembly and Senate of New York State be notified of your support for this bill. Please let the sponsors know that you support them in their efforts and please let the others know they should support them and why. Please encourage your local officials to do the same.

It would be advantageous to our "campaign" to send detailed emails from any place in the world. Describe the destruction (to the environment, community, etc. any aspects you have.) these projects have caused to your town, state, or country. I will be happy to write some sample letters that can be used for those who need them, as I have in the past.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO EVERYBODY ON YOUR EMAIL LIST AND CC ME (or send me emails of contact lists), IF YOU WOULD, SO THAT I CAN COMPILE AN EVEN GREATER NETWORK.

FURTHERMORE, please keep your fingers and toes crossed that my town, Brandon, NY USA will pass the restrictive ordinance on February 20th which will in essence ban industrial turbines from another community.

Most passionately,

Anne Britton
