Act 59 Listening Session- Bennington County NRCD
5PM at The Arlington Common
Free and open to the public
The Vermont Conservation Plan — also known as 30x30, Act 59, or Vermont’s Community Resilience and Biodiversity Protection Act — calls for a statewide conservation plan, developed by the Vermont Housing & Conservation Board (VHCB) in consultation with the Agency of Natural Resources (ANR), that solicits input from communities, landowners, and partners across Vermont. After 18 months of inventorying, studying, and community input, VHCB has developed an expanded draft Conservation Plan Framework and is seeking public input before it is finalized and sent to the state legislature in June 2026.
To ensure that farmer and farmworker feedback is included in this final round of community input, we are hosting a virtual listening session to collect input on the draft pathways and actions that most directly relate to our working lands.
