“Putting Conservation in Local Codes” is the theme of a Conservation By Design workshop to be held October 25 in Manheim, Lancaster County.

The Pennsylvania Land Trust Association and the Natural Lands Trust are collaborating with the Lancaster County Planning Commission to invite local officials, planning commission members, environmental advisory council members, developers and engineers to learn how communities can achieve their conservation goals through good local planning and land use controls.

Randall Arendt, a Senior Conservation Advisor to the Natural Lands Trust, will be the featured speaker.

A free copy of the 312-page Growing Greener workbook with model ordinances will be available at the workshop and, thanks to a grant from the Department of Community and Economic Development, workshop registration is $20.

For more information, download the workshop brochure or call the Pennsylvania Land Trust Association at 717-230-8560 or send email to: nfaraguna@conserveland.org .
