Pennsylvania municipalities have opportunities to protect parks, farms, natural areas, and other open space for their local communities. Join municipal leaders, staff, elected officials, volunteers, and conservation partners for this inaugural event focused on strengthening local open space protection efforts. The program features two educational tracks: one designed to help municipalities effectively administer existing open space protection programs, and another for communities interested in pursuing a dedicated open space tax or bond referendum. Throughout the day, attendees will gain practical guidance, learn from experienced professionals, and build valuable connections with others committed to preserving open space in their communities.
