This course helps participants 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 an 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 your plans happen.

This course is intended to be taken after Vermont’s Ecology and Environment, offered in Dummerston this spring. However, anyone is welcome to enroll.  Participants will be asked to watch a series of online, introductory videos prior to taking the course.

Dates: A two-part series, on October 2 & 9

Time: 6:00-8:00pm

Location: The Learning Collaborative in Dummerston, VT

Cost: $25  (Proceeds will go to the Association of Vermont Conservation Commissions.)
