After two years of holding "virtual" conservation summits, the Association of Vermont Conservation Commissions' annual Conservation Summit is back in person. The date is Oct 15 from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm and the location is Lake Morey Resort in Fairlee, VT. Our summit topic is "Resilient Communities and Landscapes". We have two great keynote speakers Taj Schottland (Trust for Public Land) and Zoe Richards (Burlington Conservation Commission) and many interesting and informative workshops:
* Peeling "resiliency" like an onion (Ben Rose, VT Emergency Management),
* Developing a Municipal Climate Toolkit: Expanding Your Town's Capacity to Tackle Climate Change (Marian Wolz Climate Action Office at the Agency of Natural Resources),
* Using BioFinder to Learn about Climate Resilience (Jens Hilke, VT Fish & Wildlife Department),
* VT Climate forecasts and thoughts on Adaptation (Leslie Ann Dupigny-Giroux, State Climatologist)
* Town Action Towards a Resilient Community – You Are the Hero You Seek (Chris Campany, Windham Regional Commission)
