Upcoming sessions will be listed below and can also be found on our calendar. If you have any questions, please contact Pri Oliveira at [email protected].

Speaker: Jian Smith, StreamWatch Program Coordinator
For over thirty years, The Watershed Institute has collected and analyzed data on the health of our waterways in the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed. The 2024 Report is now available publicly and features biological, chemical, and bacterial data for the watershed. We will explore if the watershed’s waters are meeting the standards set out by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. How has the quality of these waters changed over time? What can we learn from years of data? What does the Watershed Institute do with the information? Attend our Technical Friday on October 3rd at noon to learn more.
This event will be 100% virtual. Recordings will be shared with attendees after the event. If you have any questions about the event, please feel free to contact Pri Oliveira at [email protected].

Join this brand new, two-day, in-person course to learn all about streams! Spending one day in the classroom and one day in the field, participants will dive into the basics of watershed analysis and stream processes.
This class is designed to be an entry level course for water resources professionals (i.e., engineers, scientists, landscape architects, planners, restoration practitioners) and will include an introduction to site assessments for stream restoration projects. The course will be taught by a licensed professional engineer, fluvial geomorphologist, regulatory experts, and watershed scientists.
The field day will include a visit to a degraded stream and a healthy stream with visual and hands-on assessments. Data collected will be reviewed and analyzed at the close of the course. Attendees must commit to attending the full course to receive a course completion certificate.

Casey Clapsaddle, Fluvial Geomorphologist, Princeton Hydro
Mark Gallagher, Vice President & Restoration Ecologist, Princeton Hydro
Mike Pisauro, Esq., Policy Director, The Watershed Institute
