Emilia Teasdale reports in The Columbia Paper that Chatham's Zoning Board of Appeals and Planning Board Aug. 24 approved the Flying Deer Nature Center’s plan to operate programs and events on over 100 acres on Daley Road. The not-for-profit nature center got a special use permit for its camp with a long list of conditions including a limit on the number of people permitted on the property (50 for programs and 175 for “Flying Deer Day”) and a limit of 180 operating days a year. The camp will use a Route 9 driveway as its entrance, as both boards want to keep traffic off Daley Road. The group runs educational environmental programs, currently in New Lebanon.
