Learn about sustainable opportunities all from the comfort of home! The annual Community Conservation Workshop will be held virtually at 6:00 p.m. on March 1, 2022. 
This FREE workshop will provide educational presentations from local conservationists for homeowners on ways to save money while being more energy and resource-efficient in and around the home. From your furnace to your yard, there are many ways energy, soil, water, trees, plants, and even waste can be used more economically and sustainably. Bring your questions and talk (virtually) with local experts. Topics and speaker schedules are included below. Join the presentation for the entire meeting or just pop in for the topics and speakers that interest you. 
Attendees who fill out a survey after the meeting will be eligible to enter one of several FREE prize drawings including a rain barrel, home energy kit, or a Good Neighbor gift basket.
Registration is required and space is limited. Go to https://us06web.zoom.us/.../tZAsceqvpjIqHdw07DVTUOG9yZBx... to sign up in advance.
