The New York State Association of Conservation Commissions is seeking speakers for its October 6th conference. NYSACC is a non-profit organization whose mission is to support municipal environmental committees, boards, and commissions throughout New York.

NYSACC is looking for panelists conversant with existing tree funding available to NYS municipalities and counties, and if possible, someone who can supply application info and due dates. In addition, the conference hopes to help participants learn about what funding may become available for community forestry projects through the 2022 Environmental Bond Act (on which we'll all be voting in November).

It's a great (unpaid, sorry!) opportunity for anyone on the grantor side to reach a select audience / potential pool of applicants. To apply, contact Simon Skolnik: president@nysacc.org. The open space workshop will run for one hour sometime between 1pm and 4pm on Thursday, October 6th.

The conference invites all members of municipal environmental or sustainability groups to attend! Admission is free and it's online. For more info, see: https://www.nysacc.net/
