It outlines the conservation and restoration concerns throughout the region. Conservation priorities include areas that are near already protected greenspace or could benefit from further protection. Restoration priorities include areas that could provide significant health and community benefits if protected. \nThe Greenspace Alliance is actively working with organizations and communities throughout the region to integrate the RPP into their long-term planning efforts. Regardless of whether they are simply identifying parcels of land to protect or are undertaking a comprehensive planning process\, the RPP can serve as a guide for conservation implementation regionally. \nIf you’re curious to learn more about how the RPP\, how it works\, and how it can support the work you are doing or seek to do\, join us for a short training session on its creation and use! \nA 25 Communities Project member event! \n____________________ \nFor more information and/or questions\, contact Greenspace Alliance Manager\, Claire Carlson\, at claire@greenumbrella.org.

Have you witnessed a property being developed or an unused area being transformed into a park and wondered why? \nAll of these land transformations are a part of a process called comprehensive planning\, a process which Dearborn County\, Indiana\, is actively going through! \nJoin Green Umbrella’s Greenspace Alliance on Wednesday\, July 2nd from 4:00 – 5:30 pm in the Depot Room at the Lawrenceburg Public Library to learn about what a comprehensive planning process is\, how it contributes to greenspace conservation\, and the work the Alliance is doing to expand awareness about it! \nThis training session will enable you to explore the world of comprehensive planning and equip you with a baseline understanding of the process. \nHear from the Dearborn County Plan Commission about their upcoming public meeting to update the comprehensive plan. Additionally\, learn how the Dearborn County Soil and Water Conservation District incorporates comprehensive planning into their conservation efforts.
