Municipal Day

2024 State and Local Government Municipal Day (November 1, 2024)

The Agency of Natural Resources (ANR), in cooperation with Vermont Emergency Management (VEM), Land Use Review Board (LURB), Agency of Transportation (VTrans), and the Agency of Agriculture Food & Markets (AAFM), invites you to participate in a day-long event that will include informational workshops, a opening session with Department of Fish and Wildlife Biologist Grace Glynn, and networking opportunities with colleagues from across Vermont. This year, the event will have a strong focus on biodiversity to help our cities and towns understand its role on a landscape faced with more frequent and intense climate-related events such as floods, wildfires, and presence of diseases and invasive species.
