Want
to learn more about PLANNING for
Vermont’s natural resources?
The
Association of Vermont Conservation Commissions and the Vermont
Agency of Natural Resources are joining forces to bring two courses to
Dummerston! These courses were created by the Agency of Natural Resources for
those involved in natural resources planning.
NR1:
Vermont’s Ecology and Environment
In this
course, participants learn important context and scientific concepts involved
in planning for natural resources. This course will expose participants to the
full suite of issues at play for natural resources planning, from forests and
wildlife to floodplains and climate change. Presentations on Context, Scale,
and Whole Communities are interspersed with interactive hands-on activities
that make this an intensive and exciting training.
Dates: A 2-part
series, on May 15 & 22
Time: 7:00-9:00pm
Location: The Learning
Collaborative in Dummerston, VT
Cost: $25
To register, contact Monica.Przyperhart@vermont.gov
Proceeds will go to the
Association of Vermont Conservation Commissions.
The course above will be followed by a second series this fall:
NR2: Caring for Natural Resources—Taking
Action in Your Community
This sequel
to NR1 helps participants to choose locally appropriate land use planning
strategies for conserving natural resources. It uses case studies and exercises
to show how taking action can work in real life. The overall goal is to build
understanding of what you can do, how to work with different people in your
community, how to choose ways to protect natural resources, and how to make it
happen.
Date and Place to be determined, but it will be this fall, in Windham County!
