Conference Overview

The Southern New England Chapter of the Soil and Water Conservation Society (SNEC-SWCS) is pleased to host a diverse lineup of speakers representing government, private sector and community perspectives for a tri-state workshop entitled Energizing the Rural Landscape to be held Thursday, February 18, 2010 at the Periwinkles Restaurant & Banquet Hall in Auburn, MA. The Chapter selected the topic for their annual winter event due to the increasing demand by New England farms, homes and communities for renewable power and energy efficiency upgrades and the rise in government programs and businesses available to support the growing trend toward alternative energy usage and production.

This one-day event includes a keynote highlighting the challenges and possibilities for renewables projects provided by Gerry Palano, Alternative Energy Coordinator for Massachusetts Department of Agriculture Resources as well as panels on the latest news in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island energy programs, tools for renewable energy technology, funding mechanisms and case studies on successful projects from each state. The workshop is being supported by a number of organizations including premier sponsor CME Associates, Inc., contributing sponsors Alteris Renewables, USDA Rural Development and SNEC-SWCS, and in-kind sponsors the Center for Ecological Technology, the Connecticut Farm Energy Program, the Massachusetts Energy Efficiency Partnership, the Northeast Chapter of the International Erosion Control Association, and the Society of Soil Scientists of Southern New England.
