A group of concerned citizens from the Woodstock area have initiated broad-based education and action to address climate change in our community. While continuing to build community interest and involvement in sustainable living practices, Sustainable Woodstock received a grant in 2008 to identify key stakeholders to participate in defining long-term goals and process by means of a Future Search conference in April 2009. At that event, 60-80 of those stakeholders come together to create a common agenda and commit to an action plan, including task forces to work on specific projects, a process for maintaining task force activity and momentum in accordance with the overall vision, and a six-month follow-up meeting with out conference facilitators.

The organization's volunteer-based action groups encourage a vibrant community, promote a thriving local economy, and educate community members about how to conserve and protect natural resources.
