Registration is now open for the third annual Chesapeake Watershed Forum to be held October 2-5 in Shepherdstown, WV.

The Chesapeake Watershed Forum is an annual conference for watershed organizations and local government officials from around the multi-state Chesapeake Bay region.

It is an opportunity to learn the latest scientific techniques in bay restoration and protection, address specific organizational capacity building needs, focus on regional and watershed-wide needs, network with other watershed organizations, and enjoy the beauty of the watershed.

New to the Forum this year is a pre-conference workshop entitled, "Financing Green Initiatives." This workshop will begin the afternoon of October 2. Registration is limited to the first 35 workshop registrants.

To register or for more information, visit the 2008 Chesapeake Watershed Forum webpage.
