Thank you for attending last year’s ANR listening session. I really appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from you about the challenges surrounding the management of our natural resources and possible solutions. This year, I’m taking these conversations a step further by hosting a series of open forums focusing on specific topics that are top-of-mind for many of us right now, including clean water, the long-range management of state lands, and the health of Vermont’s moose herd.

I’d like to invite you to attend one, two or all three of these upcoming community meetings to discuss current challenges and talk about crafting a better Vermont together. And although each session will center around a specific issue, we’ll open the floor at the end of the hour for questions or comments on any topic that you wish to bring forward. Seating is limited to ~35 people so please come early if you’d like a seat.

The first meeting will be held February 27^th from 4:00-5:00pm in Montpelier and we will be discussing a very hot topic right now, clean water. The full spring schedule is listed below. I look forward to seeing and hearing from you!

All meetings at Dewey Building, 1 National Life Drive, Montpelier. Seating is limited to ~35 people so please come early if you’d like a seat.

• # 1 – Discussing Vermont’s Clean Water

Feb 27, 2018 4:00 – 5:00 PM
