Green Stormwater Infrastructure for Conservation Managers. This two-part Green Stormwater Infrastructure Training for Conservation Managers, hosted by the Lamoille County NRCD and funded by the Lake Champlain Basin Program, will focus on the education and training of conservation managers on the Vermont Clean Water Act and Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) practices to improve their knowledge, engagement and ability to develop and implement targeted GSI projects within their communities, including the Lake Champlain Basin. Conservation managers include professionals from VT Natural Resources Conservation Districts, watershed groups, and municipal planning or conservation commissions. As a result of this training, each participating conservation manager will identify and plan at least one GSI project in their region to remediate a stormwater concern identified in a VT ANR Stormwater Mapping Project, Tactical Basin Plan, or similar technical document. The first workshop will be held at the US Forest Service, 231 N. Main St. in  Rutland. The second workshop date and location will be decided based on a survey taken during the 1st workshop. For more information and to register contact: Peter Danforth, Lamoille NRCD Director [email protected] or 802-521-3004. Brown bag Lunch Snacks and drinks will be provided. NRCD Staff time will be paid through NRCC as part of the annual meeting. Stipends will be available to non-NRCD participants.
