Register for Hudson River Watershed Alliance Conference
New York Ag Connection - 09/28/2022
Across the watershed, communities are experiencing climate hazards including localized flooding, intense drought, Harmful Algal Blooms, beach closures, wildfires, and other impacts on water resources. The Annual Watershed Conference will further community understanding of climate change, its impacts, and how we can prepare for it. This year, Hudson River Watershed Alliance is using a hybrid model for the conference, taking advantage of the respective strengths of both virtual and in-person programs.
The schedule:
- Oct. 24, 1-3:30 p.m.: a virtual session to share climate change projections and other context-setting information.
- Oct. 25, 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m.: in-person session at the Henry A. Wallace Center, FDR Presidential Library & Museum in Hyde Park, NY to discuss climate change adaptation strategies and share case studies.
- Oct. 26, 1-4 p.m.: an in-person session at the Hudson River Maritime Museum Barn in Kingston focused on flooding issues faced by municipalities along the Hudson River shoreline. This session will be facilitated by River Network, and will inform the Hudson River Flood Resilience Network's strategic roadmap.
The conference agenda includes speakers and more details about each session. Registration is open on the conference webpage at https://bit.ly/3Cc5Jfr. The Annual Watershed Conference is sponsored with support from DEC's Hudson River Estuary Program, NEIWPCC, the New York State Water Resources Institute at Cornell University, and other organizations.
