Is Your Community Climate Resilient? Bylaws and Best Practices: How-to Training
Thursday, October 27
Training:
Learn how your bylaws and regulations might be unintentionally holding you back from making your community more climate-resilient. This hands-on, in-person workshop will help planners learn why and how using nature-based solutions can help avoid costs, meet permit requirements, and improve climate resiliency due to flooding, drought, and other impacts.
Learn how to use this excel-based tool to review bylaws and regulations from the experts that developed it and share examples and experiences with colleagues.
This in-person workshop will be held in Middleboro, MA with diverse speakers from Mass Audubon, EPA, regional planning agency SRPEDD, the Blackstone Watershed Collaborative, Cape Cod Commission, and the Mass Rivers Alliance.
Eligibility:
This training is open to municipal officials or staff, professional consultants, regional planning agency staff, state or federal agency staff, watershed organization staff, or others who are making a commitment to utilize this training to support the use of the bylaw review tool in at least one community within the next year.
Participants from Massachusetts and Rhode Island are eligible. There are reserved spaces available for SNEP communities. Please note that capacity is set at 40 registrants, and will be selected on a first come, first serve basis if you met the eligibility requirements. Participation is free to eligible participants.
