The Watershed Conference offers sessions that will increase knowledge and skills, encourage discussions between stakeholders, and foster collaboration on specific issues and potential solutions. Our audience includes state, municipal, and county officials and staff, nonprofit organizations, and environmental professionals. This year’s theme is “Getting It Done for NJ Watersheds.” We are looking for and organizing sessions that touch on a variety of topics relevant to our audience tracks such as:
– Case studies of projects that demonstrate creative approaches and best practices for design, maintenance and retrofitting of projects to improve watersheds.
– Effective strategies for stakeholder engagement and education.
– Funding sources for watershed restoration and maintenance.
With every storm, every extremely hot day, each month there isn’t enough rain, and all the unusual and hazardous conditions NJ communities are facing, we are reminded that change needs to happen today to protect people and restore our watersheds. It is time to move conversations just from planning and into effective implementation so that we can “Get It Done for NJ Watersheds.”
