Environmental commissioners are charged with protecting natural resources and environmental quality in their communities. They provide the expertise and information necessary to help their town and its residents address environmental concerns.
These one-session workshops are an ideal introduction for new commissioners and a good refresher for more experienced ones.
ANJEC staff and other invited speakers will present an overview of environmental commission responsibilities and powers, and discuss the basic tools and techniques--master planning, ordinance development, site plan review, and environmental resource inventories--used by commissions as they work at the local level to promote sustainable energy practices and protect the environment.
Learn how to work effectively within local government and with your community, and find out about current grant opportunities to fund projects.
This course provides practical information and project ideas that will assist commissions as they face the challenges of protecting their towns’ natural resources.
Registration fees:
ANJEC Members:$35
Non-Members: $40
If your commission/committee is on the ANJEC Workshop Plan, there is no charge to attend.
