The Susquehanna River Heartland Coalition for Environmental Studies, Bucknell University and Geisinger Medical Center are sponsoring the Upper Susquehanna “From the Branches to the Confluence” Conference in Lewsburg on September 23.

The registration deadline is July 30.

The purposes of the conference are to discuss the components that should go into an annual State of the River report, showcase key initiatives, and promote further collaboration between area universities, government agencies and nonprofit organizations to improve the health of the watershed and its communities.

Each session will feature short presentations, with the bulk of the time devoted to discussion. A reception and poster viewing session will provide additional opportunities for the exchange of information on specific initiatives. All participants are encouraged to consider presenting a poster.

The keynote speaker for the event will be Will Baker, President, Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

For more information contact Hannah Holm, conference coordinator, by sending email to: hholm@bucknell.edu or download the Conference agenda and registration form.
