SUMMARY:Massachusetts Land Trust Coalition Seminar: Introduction to the New EOEEA/DCS Conservation Restriction Tracking System (CRTS)
DESCRIPTION:This one-hour\, online seminar by one of our lead conference sponsors is free and open to everyone\, even if you’re not attending the Massachusetts Land Conservation Conference on Friday\, March 13. \nThis talk by Sheri Widdis\, Denise Galvao\, and Tom McHugh of EEA will introduce the new Conservation Restriction Tracking System (CRTS)\, which is a new digital platform designed to streamline and modernize the submission and review process for Conservation Restrictions (CRs) to EEA- Division of Conservation Services (EEA-DCS). Through CRTS\, members of the public will be able to submit a CR\, monitor its progress\, and engage in the review process conducted by EEA-DCS. CRTS will assist EEA-DCS in ensuring that each CR is evaluated efficiently\, in a timely manner\, and for its public benefit\, a core priority of the EEA Secretariat & EEA-DCS. This workshop will provide an overview of CRTS functionality\, demonstrate its user interface\, and highlight how it supports both EEA -DCS and the broader community in advancing land protection efforts across the Commonwealth. \nRegister here \n\n\n	Related
