Leadership Training
Workshop
building
awareness of issues and choices related to land use and water quality
Participants learn
how to explain the complex issues and choices surrounding land use and
water quality. They do this through presentations to elected officials,
developers, builders, farmers and residents. In these presentations,
they suggest actions that each group can take to have both development
and water quality. Presentations are based on work by the University
of Connecticut's NEMO program. NEMO stands for Non-point Education for
Municipal Officials.
