Lehigh Valley Watershed Conference 2023
March 14, 2023 @ 7:30 am - 4:30 pm
The 2023 Lehigh Valley Watershed Confrence highlights Indigenous connections to land and water resources. Presentations will address experiences related to access to clean water and healthcare, sovereignty; treaty rights; connecting tribal youth to their ancestral homeland in the Delaware River Watershed; and the identification, documentation, preservation and protection of Ceremonial Stone Landscapes in the Northeast. Additional presentations and workshops will focus on stormwater and MS-4s for municipal staff and engineers. There will be a track for watershed volunteers engagement, and technical workshops to dive into topics such as flooding, karst geology, and managed retreat in the landscape due to climate change.
Continuing education credits are available for engineers. College students register for free.
