Registration is now open for the 2013 --TENTH ANNIVERSARY -- Land & Water Conservation Summit, that will be held Saturday March 9at the Memorial Union. Click HEREto register (or go to www.landandwaterpartnership.organd follow the links to the Summit)
The theme for our 10th Anniversary is Story Telling and we have a terrific keynote address by Steve Archibald from Montana and a lunch time performance by our local grammy award winning singer, story teller and author, Bill Harley.
We are very excited about the program -- which (as always) is designed with the needs of watershed groups, land trusts and conservation commissions in mind.
Some highlights for the watershed community:
Workshops on stormwater ("Paying for Stormwater Solutions: Understanding Stormwater Utility Districts" and "Opportunities in Green Infrastructure")
Workshops on water quality ("Reflecting on Rhode Island's Water Quality - What We've Found & What's Ahead" and "Using the Annual Watershed Check up to Support Water Quality Protection and Improvement" and "Water Protection Falling Through the Cracks: How and Why Town, State and Federal Efforts Fail to Protect our Rivers" and "Waterfowl Management -- Which Goes First, the Egg or the Goose?")
Workshops on climate change ("What Lies Ahead - How Climate Change May Impact your Health" and "The Future of Rhode Island's Coast: Adapting to Climate Change")
Workshops on fundraising ("Back to Basics: A Fundraising Pick-Me-Up for Small Organizations" and "Involve Your Board Members in Fund Development...and Raise More Money!")
and many more!
The registration fee for the Summit has not increased ($40 before Feb 22; $55 after Feb 22).
