One
element in the mission of MACC is to provide education and training for
Conservation Commissioners and anyone interested, for empowerment and
enrichment, and to aid in a positive and effective experience as an environmental
official for the conservation of wetlands and open space in Massachusetts.
We
offer training sessions at various levels and credit for completion
of
the programs. These sessions take place throughout the year, and during
our multiple annual conferences. Our major yearly get-together is
called
the "Annual Environmental Conference," and includes the largest
consortium of environmental experts and professionals in New England.
Certificate
Training Programs
MACC created
the Conservation Commission Training Program as an adult education program
to give Commissioners a working knowledge of the various aspects of their
jobs. Participants are exposed to the basics of everything from effective
meeting skills to the science and policy of wetlands protection and open
space management.
