Details 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.

Annual Environmental Conference Over 1,000 Conservation Commissioners, other local officials, state and federal environmental officials, consultants, attorneys and others enjoy a full day of activities. 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. |
