MEACC Regional Workshops

The Maine Association of Conservation Commissions is sponsoring a series of regional workshops designed to showcase the work of local conservation commissions that are having a significant impact on their community’s environment and quality of place. Each session will feature presentations by conservation commissions that have done exemplary job of protecting their community’s natural resources. Some workshops will include an orientation to the various local conservation planning tools developed by the Beginning with Habitat program; others will include information on how a community that does not have a conservation commission might create one. (Specific agendas will vary by location.)The featured projects were developed by the conservation commissions in Wells, Lamoine, Falmouth, Rockport and Kennebunkport. Each workshop is free and open to all conservation commission members, elected and appointed town officials and other people interested in learning more about the work of conservation commissions and the value they offer municipalities.
