This event is primarily for farmers in Central Vermont:

Join the Conservation Districts for a discussion on the current status of Vermont's Soil Health and Payment for Ecosystem Services Working Group. During this meeting, you will hear about the science of soil health and carbon sequestration, and you will be able to provide thoughts, insight, and feedback on potential compensation programs for the services that farmers and land managers provide to their watersheds and surrounding communities. Help answer the question: What would a program that paid farmers for their stewardship of the land look like in Vermont?
