Kickstart the Agricultural Conservation Working Group

Tuesday, June 13, 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. via Zoom

Do you work with the agricultural community and want to enhance what can be done to
support farmland protection and farming in the state? Join this group of stakeholders to
convene around agricultural conservation. This will follow in the footsteps of successful
MLTC working groups that have revised the state’s model CR and created the Valuing
Nature’s Services Toolkit, building off of the former Agricultural Subcommittee. With the recent releases of the Healthy Soils Action Plan, Resilient Lands Initiative, Clean Energy and Climate Plan, and the forthcoming Farmland Action Plan, this working group aims to address both the challenges and opportunities in farmland conservation. Kathy Orlando from the Sheffield Land Trust and David Viale from MDAR APR program will spearhead this effort. Facilitated by MLTC. Register.
