The Bradford Conservation Commission (BCC) was officially established in 1990, when its first set of by-laws were approved by the Bradford Selectboard. This 9-member board is made up of community volunteers who serve for 3-year terms. The BCC meets at the Bradford Academy at 6:30 pm on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, and all meetings are open to the public.

Anyone interested in helping the Bradford Conservation Commission with its important work should come to a meeting, or contact Nancy Jones, Chair at 802-439-3562.

Join us at The Future of Vermont's Working Landscape Summit at the Vermont State House in Montpelier on December 10, 2010, and share in advancing the working landscape action plan for Vermont's future.

This Summit will highlight the challenges facing the agricultural and forest-based enterprises that are at the foundation of Vermont's Working Landscape. Summit participants will review a Working Landscape Action Plan developed by the VCRD-founded Working Landscape Steering Committee. This draft platform will serve as the focal point for advancing working landscape enterprise development in Vermont and, at the end of the day, for the founding of the Vermont Working Landscape Partnership. The Partnership will be a volunteer network coordinated by VCRD staff to support the implementation of the Action Plan.

Register today and join state and federal agency leaders, non-profit, and business leaders from throughout the state to advance the working landscape action plan for Vermont's future and add your name to the growing list of key stakeholders as a member of the Vermont Working Landscape Partnership.

Fee: $25
