| CLEAN WATER LECTURE SERIES NEXT LECTURE: CLEAN WATER FUNDED PROJECTS FROM START TO FINISH  Thursday, March 31st, 2022, 12:00 – 12:45 pm Online via Microsoft Teams Join watershed planner Karen Bates for the next Clean Water Lecture on March 31st, 2022. The presentation will cover how clean water projects are successfully implemented—from identifying a problem, to constructing a solution on the ground, and everything in between! Clean water projects reduce and prevent water pollution across all land uses including agriculture, developed lands, and forestry. Examples include, farmers planting cover crops on their fields to reduce field erosion, volunteers planting trees to stabilize river banks and stop erosion, non-profits removing dams to reconnect rivers, town road crews stabilizing roadside erosion, and towns and businesses adding gardens to parking lots and other paved surfaces to absorb and treat rainwater. Clean water projects do more than reduce pollution, a successful clean water project can improve lakes and rivers for recreation, wildlife habitat, drinking water, and biodiversity while building community strength through local and regional partnership. Bates will describe collaborative community-led efforts that protect and restore our waters by implementing successful clean water projects. To join, please register here. |
