Seventh Annual Watershed Conference — February 23, 2024

February 23, 2024 In A Hybrid Format

The Watershed Conference is an annual educational and networking event on topics related to watershed health in New Jersey. In February 2023, we welcomed hundreds of attendees for a conference about stormwater and New Jersey’s new MS4 requirements. Our audience included state, municipal, and county officials and staff, nonprofit organizations, environmental professionals, and the general public.

The Watershed Conference will offer sessions that will increase knowledge and skills, encourage discussions between stakeholders, and foster collaboration on specific issues and potential solutions.

Register today for our 7th Annual Watershed Conference. Our theme this year is regional/watershed planning, a collaborative strategy to address the impacts of climate change and to restore clean and healthy habitats. To address complex issues, we must work together to manage watersheds in a way best suited to their natural geography, beyond political boundaries.

If you have any questions or concerns about this event, please reach out to the conference organizer, Pri Oliveira at [email protected].

All registrants will receive a link to the Zoom Events portal when it is ready. The portal will provide virtual access to the conference, virtual exhibits, virtual networking with other attendees, and the session agenda.
