The Advancing Partnerships for Healthy Watersheds webinar will be offered Thursday, Aug. 18, 1 to 2 p.m. EST. Watersheds don't fall into clear city or county boundaries. To manage these systems, it can take more than one municipality or organization to design a holistic approach. Tackling multi-jurisdictional challenges requires defined goals, responsibilities and funding sources, which can be difficult to handle without strong partnerships. A successful watershed partnership includes pinpointing specific geographic areas, targeting stressors and including grassroots organizations, all while steadily evaluating and communicating achievements.
In the Aug. 18 webinar, listeners can hear from experts who have successfully advanced watershed partnerships through strategic collaboration and goal setting. Speakers include Carol Collier, senior advisor for Watershed Management and Policy, Academy of Natural Sciences at Drexel University; and Jason Pierce, manager of watershed and contract services, Upper Trinity Regional Water District in Texas.
