Annual Watershed Conference: Aligning Actions for Clean Water
Monday, October 25 - Thursday, October 28 – October 25: 7-8 PM; October 26: 1-4 PM; October 27: 1-3 PM; October 28: 1-3 PM •  $15 • Virtual event • The Hudson River Watershed Alliance’s Annual Watershed Conference: Aligning Actions for Clean Water will be held virtually October 25-28, 2021. The conference sessions will share processes, resources, and case studies for watershed-scale planning that leads to coordinated actions that improve clean water and reduce flooding. Each day's session will walk through the planning process: from setting goals and engaging stakeholders, to monitoring and modeling, to implementing actions. While we are focused on planning, the content will also be more broadly applicable to watershed work. • Participants may choose to attend some or all of the sessions, and pay for their selected sessions only. All sessions will be recorded, and links to the recordings will be shared with registrants after the event. If registration cost is a barrier, please contact us • http://hudsonwatershed.org/annual-watershed-conference-2021/
