  RECOGNIZING THE RETIREMENT OF BRIAN DAVIS AND HIS THIRTY-FIVE YEAR 
CAREER WITH THE CATTARAUGUS COUNTY SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TOM REED

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, July 2, 2020

  Mr. REED. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize the retirement of 
Brian Davis, Cattaraugus County Soil and Water Conservation District 
Field Manager.
  Brian dedicated thirty years of his life to serving as the district 
field manager and oversaw a considerable amount of projects that ranged 
from agriculture to wildlife issues, as well as forest issues and 
streambank protection. Previously, he served as a technician with the 
conservation district for five years.
  His dedication to the cause of conservation has been evidenced by his 
hard work, successful projects over the years and his enthusiasm for 
the task at hand. He has overseen millions of dollars of projects over 
the years that have aided businesses, farmers and highway 
superintendents across the area. These efforts have had a considerable 
impact on the district and have improved the environment in various 
ways.
  Brian has provided dedicated leadership during his tenure at the 
Cattaraugus County Soil and Water Conservation District and he will be 
missed by all. He leaves behind a legacy of service and commitment that 
will be difficult to replace, however, he has certainly earned his 
retirement. We hope his next steps on this new path will be rewarding 
and bountiful, as his contributions have been to the communities he has 
served.
  Given the above, I ask that this Legislative Body pause in its 
deliberations and join me to congratulate Brian Davis of the 
Cattaraugus County Soil and Water Conservation District on his 
retirement.
