Environmentally Critical Areas Update - Get Involved

Attend a Listening Session

We're hosting four one-hour online listening sessions to hear from people who work with critical areas: environmental organizations, local watershed groups, environmental professionals (biologists, landscape architects, engineers, and others), and those with experience permitting in critical areas. The first three sessions are geared toward specific groups, and the fourth is open to anyone. You're welcome to join whichever session best fits your schedule.
