Farmer Listening Session: Mitigating Flood Risk

Register here!

CISA and the Franklin Regional Council of Governments (FRCOG) are hosting a listening session with farmers from the Connecticut River Valley to learn about farmers’ flood-related experiences and concerns. Farmers will have the opportunity to share ideas for specific ways that local policies, municipal planning, and advocacy can decrease flooding risk and improve the resilience of their farms.

Farmers are invited to share their experiences with flooding and erosion along the Connecticut River and all tributaries through open discussion and a mapping activity. Following the event, CISA will summarize and bring concerns voiced at the session to a Connecticut River Valley-wide collaboration to identify, develop, and prioritize flood resiliency projects.

• Date: Tuesday, April 15th, 5-7pm
• Location: Sunderland Public Library, 20 School St, Sunderland, MA 01375
• Dinner and childcare provided

Registration is not required, but greatly appreciated for planning purposes. This event is hosted by CISA and Franklin Regional Council of Governments.
