Thank you to the 100 community stakeholders who completed the Locally Led Conservation Planning Survey. Everyone who completed the survey was entered into a raffle for a gift card to our Annual Plant Sale. And the winner is..... Allison Van Akkeren, a staff member at Sterling College.

Some common themes that emerged included:

Funding Priorities: If provided with $500,000, respondents would invest in land conservation, improved resource management, farmer support initiatives, and community education programs.
Vision for the Future: Respondents envision a sustainable future with a balanced approach to agricultural growth and environmental conservation. The emphasis is on proactive planning, improved policy implementation, and stronger community engagement to ensure long-term resource sustainability.
