The Revitalizing All Marshfield and Plainfield (RAMP) conversations began in April with a well-attended brainstorming around building a more resilient community. (Good food and music was also on offer.) The next step, including pizza and priority-setting, happens this Thursday, May 23, starting at 6:30 pm at Twinfield School. We'll hear about the communities' work in the context of similar conversations around Vermont from organizer Jon Copans of Vermont Council on Rural Development, plus from a local organizer.

10:00 - 10:30 am
Resilience Thoughts, a locally told Extempo story, plus upcoming events related to energy, food, and the local economy at the end of the age of oil.
