Upcoming Meetings and Events

for the Land Use Action Team

The Land Use Action Team is planning two upcoming inventory training sessions for anyone interested in participating in the community-wide neighborhood inventory project, and would like to hear from you about days and times that work best for everyone: the first or third Monday of the month at 6:30 pm or a Saturday at 10 am.

We are also happy to schedule additional training sessions for your neighborhood, organization, or small group.

If you are interested in joining the team or participating in the inventory, please click on the “Contact Us” link in the box on the right (not the tab at the top of the page) and send us a message.   You can also connect with us at all of the scheduled Coalition events.  We look forward to hearing from you!  (See details on the main webpage.)
