The goal of this project is to research best practices in new program development for a new climate action program that would focus on community-based wood-chipping incentives, and translate that research into a compelling business case, outlining the benefits, costs, and potential returns on investment for implementing chipping incentives. This will involve several different steps for the students, including:
- Researching current wood chipping incentive programs and best practices in new program development.
- Developing a business case for implementing a wood chipping incentive program for Transition Salt Spring.
- Outlining the benefits, costs, and potential returns on investment for implementing chipping incentives.
- Exploring potential sources of funding and other resources for the program.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:
- Understanding of current wood chipping incentive programs and best practices in new program development.
- A comprehensive business case for implementing a wood chipping incentive program for Transition Salt Spring.
- Outlining the benefits, costs, and potential returns on investment for implementing chipping incentives.
- Identification of potential sources of funding and other resources for the program.
Final deliverables should include:
- A written report outlining the research and findings.
- A presentation summarizing the research and findings.
