Creating Forest Indicators Workshop

• How do residents of your community engage in substantive dialogue about natural resources and planning? 

• How can you measure and track the quality of the natural environment? 

• What information do you have to help make hard choices? 

• What information do you need? 

Participants of this interactive workshop will learn of a transparent, replicable process for bringing natural resources into community planning. they will consider how decisions about natural resources are made in communities, and how to use information to influence decision making. Members of the Starksboro Conservation Commission share their experiences, guide participants in creating indicators, and lead discussion about how developing and tracking indicators might work in other communities
