Workshop Announcement from RI NEMO
 
For Additional Resources,
Greetings!

The upcoming workshops described below on wetland buffers and nitrogen in the environment will provide practical, up-to-date information for municipal officials who make land use decisions involving wetland buffers and OWTS.

A special discount is available to government and non-profits. As a municipal official, if the cost of the workshops is prohibitive and your town is located in a drinking water supply aquifer or watershed, your registration can be subsidized.  Please contact us (Lorraine Joubert or Lisa Philo) for more information.  Contact details are provided at the bottom of this newsletter.
