The Greater Portland Sustainability Council is holding a mini-conference on June 4, 2013 on the Portland campus of USM.  The mini-conference runs from 3 pm – 7 pm.

During this free event, a number of topics will be discussed at length.  They include: Urban Edible Landscapes:  Fruits, Nuts and Berries; A Farm Grows in the City? Urban Agriculture in Portland; Cyclovia: Thinking of Downtlown Space as People Space; Public Transit – Doing it Differently; Cumberland County Energy Plan; Youth Geen Teams: Supporting the Next Generation; Portland Green Festival; Highlights from Portland HS and USM student trips to Europe; Institute for Civil Leadership; Greening the Maine Mall, and lastly, Green-up Portland.

Because of limited space on the USM campus (the flyer did not say exactly where on campus, it’ll be) a reservation is required: http://gpqlc.sharepoint.com/Pages/june2013sustainabilityminiconference.aspx
