The Organizing Committee is now accepting proposals for the Watershed Congress Along the Schuylkill River, scheduled for March 29. The deadline for submissions is November 3.
The Watershed Congress advances the best available information and techniques for protecting and restoring watersheds.
The focus on networking across disciplines means that the Congress melds science, policy and practical applications into one program.
Every year, a growing and changing group of individuals attends to gain new knowledge, acquire tools, and practice techniques that will allow them to take active roles in the stewardship of their natural resources.
Click Here to submit proposals and for more information. Questions should be directed to Chair Towne at: chari@delawareriverkeeper.org.
