Aug. 20 - Conservation Listening Session

Two years ago, after a series of Conservation Listening Sessions around the state, local groups and citizens like you helped pick 4 Conservation Priorities, including Reauthorizing the Stewardship Fund--a key land preservation program--and Protecting the Great Lakes from Water Diversions with a Strong Great Lakes Compact. Because these issues were top concerns of citizens, they became priorities for legislators as well.

Now that the 2007-2008 legislative session has ended, it's time to pick the Conservation Priorities for 2009-2010. In order to get YOUR FEEDBACK, we will be holding 11 Conservation Listening Sessions around the state in August and September. If you are a member of a conservation organization, involved in a local group, or simply concerned about conservation, we encourage you to attend and share YOUR OPINION!

The Listening Sessions are meant for anyone who is concerned about conservation issues--you don't need to be an expert or prepare anything to attend. Here's how they work:
  • Welcome and Introductions
  • Background & History on WHY the Conservation Community decided to set a Priority Agenda
  • Brief Overview of the Criteria Used to Select Issues
  • Brief Overview of the 8 Issue Proposals
  • Brainstorm on other Potential Conservation Priorities
  • Vote for YOUR Top Issues

Please RSVP today!
