Missisquoi River Basin Association tells Richford it can offer grant-funded municipal trainings
Summary
Ruby Bratcher of the Missisquoi River Basin Association told the Richford Selectboard the group can provide grant-funded trainings to municipalities on topics such as invasive species control and town-forest management.
Ruby Bratcher, representing the Missisquoi River Basin Association, introduced herself and Natalie Hammond to the Richford Selectboard and said the association has grant funding available to offer trainings to municipalities on matters the town deems necessary.
According to Bratcher, the trainings would cover topics ranging from invasive-species management to control and stewardship of a town forest; she described the program as grant-funded and intended to support municipal capacity. The minutes record the presentation as informational; the board did not take a formal vote on accepting trainings at this meeting.
Bratcher's appearance provided the board with an option to pursue outside technical assistance at no direct cost described in the minutes as grant-supported. The Selectboard may follow up with Bratcher or staff if it chooses to pursue specific trainings or to request further details on scheduling and funding requirements.
