The Land Conservation Committee sponsors a
wide variety of educational events each year including work with schools,
lake groups, and workshops for targeted groups of businesses, organizations,
or landowners. Many education initiatives are funded by specific grant
proposals. Funding may also be received for educational projects that provide
additional inventory or data upon which future local decision-making is
based. Please call our office for
more information.
