Inspired by the November, 2003 Green Fields/Green Towns referendum, and the passage of Pennsylvania's $625 million Growing Greener II Bond Initiative, the Green Futures program is a three-pronged initiative administered over a two-year period. The components consist of education, outreach and training in a variety of energizing venues.

The primary goal of the six workshops will be to provide local leaders with the open space tools they need to make enlightened decisions and public investment regarding land conservation, water resource protection and smart growth strategies.

Montgomery County Lands Trust works to preserve and connect the natural areas, farmland, and neighborhood green spaces which contribute to our quality of life, to a clean and abundant water supply, and to the health of our region's economy.
