Yesterday, Danielle Ward and Lauren Dirvonas represented The Clark Group, LLC at the Vermont Environmental Consortium 2026 Spring Conference in Burlington, Vermont.

The event provided a valuable opportunity to engage with longstanding partners, reconnect with current collaborators, and establish relationships with new prospective partners. We appreciated the meaningful conversations and the opportunity to further strengthen our connections with our Vermont community.

This year’s discussions highlighted shifts in Vermont’s approach to environmental planning and compliance, with a focus on permitting efficiency, improved data integration, and updates to regulatory frameworks such as Act 250. These efforts are intended to support increased housing development and reinforce the importance of clear environmental analysis, accessible data, and coordinated planning to enable effective project delivery.

Thank you to the Vermont Environmental Consortium for hosting an engaging and informative series of seminars, and for providing a forum that fostered thoughtful dialogue on the environmental policies, challenges, and key considerations shaping Vermont’s environmental sector.
