Conservation Speed-Dating Interest Form
What is Conservation Speed-dating? The overarching goal for this type of workshop is to introduce landowners and producers to their local technical service providers (TSPs) and conservation practitioners, with a focus on organizations that can provide technical and financial support for climate resiliency, habitat improvement, and agricultural management projects. Each participant will have 5-10 minutes with each TSP to discuss the specific opportunities and challenges of their property. The strength of this event comes from having these providers engage one-on-one with each participant discussing how their programs apply specifically to each landowner’s property and conservation goals, using a large, hard-copy map of each property as a focal point for discussion. 

Participants will leave with an informative and inspirational roadmap for expanding conservation practices on their landscapes and in their operations. They will be armed with the knowledge of who to follow up with and what incentive opportunities and cost-share programs are available to support them. 

This workshop is funded by a grant that is aimed at increasing capacity for grassland habitat management in the Champlain Valley, so the ideal participant would have at least twenty acres of contiguous grassland habitat within a mosaic of other forested, shrub, wetland, and riparian habitats, and an interest in managing some of their property for wildlife. 

The workshop will occur on Monday November 10, 2025 from 10am to 1pm at the Ferrisburgh Town Hall. There is no cost to attend this event. Food will be provided. Space is limited and not all land owners will necessarily be accepted. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to Sam Graulty, Events Manager with the Vermont Land Trust (sam@vlt.org) or Hyla Howe, Bobolink Project Coordinator (hhowe@massaudubon.org).
