The Association of Vermont Conservation Commissions (AVCC) will hold its Annual Summit on Saturday, September 28 at the Bread Loaf Campus of Middlebury College in Ripton. The Summit is a day-long educational and networking event for community volunteers engaged in planning and caring for natural resources, with a particular focus on Vermont Conservation Design (VCD).

Vermont Conservation Design is Vermont's current framework for investing in the state's conservation future so that we can sustain our valued natural areas, forests, waters, wildlife, and plants for generations to come.
