Free & Field Tested: How CT RC&D’s Environmental Review Team Can Help Your Land Trust
Connecticut Resource Conservation & Development Area (CT RC&D) will highlight the Environmental Review Team (ERT) program, which provides land trusts and municipalities with a team of expert volunteers who complete natural resource inventories, offer best management practices, and support conservation-based decision making. You will learn about the history of the ERT program, the application process, how CT RC&D coordinates site visits & the review process, and have the opportunity to view some completed ERT reports. An ERT recipient will share their experience and tell us how they have utilized their ERT report in land-use decision making and conservation efforts.
