Agricultural Conservation Interest Group

-

Zoom

Join us to learn about the soon-to-be released Farmland Action Plan, and discuss a two-pronged proposal for accelerating agricultural conservation in Massachusetts. First, MLTC is considering hosting a multi-part training to more fully educate land trusts and others about APR options, tools, and farmland protection in general. Second, MLTC and partners are considering convening a work group to vet and prioritize various policy initiatives that have been proposed to improve and increase agricultural preservation. Participants will be invited to offer ideas and/or express interest in learning more about either of these ideas for moving ag conservation forward. This conversation will be hosted by MLTC and guided by David Viale (MDAR's APR program), Jamie Pottern (American Farmland Trust) and Kathy Orlando (Sheffield Land Trust). This call will not be recorded.
