Is Your Community Climate Resilient? Hands-on Training for Planners

Note: 25 person limit - register early!

Local land use rules that support nature-based solutions to climate change have many benefits, including reduced flood risks, protection of water quality and supplies, reduced costs of road and stormwater maintenance, open space protection, and preserving community character. Outdated bylaws and regulations can prevent communities from implementing these win-win solutions.

Learn how to use a Bylaw Review Tool that can help you give your community’s land use regulations a tune-up to ensure they support cost-effective best practices. This in-depth training will prepare you to undertake a bylaw/ordinance review process with municipal officials.

Eligibility: This training is open to participants from MA and RI and is capped at 25. 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 are eligible first-come, first-served.
