Community Engagement: Making Meaningful Connections That Count

Please join the Shenandoah Valley Pure Water Forum for the 2016 Annual Watershed Roundtable Meeting and our 20th anniversary celebration on Thursday, October 6 (9AM - 3:30PM) at the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton, VA.

Dr. Frank Dukes, Distinguished Institute Fellow and Former Director of the Institute of Environmental Negotiation at the University of Virginia, headlines this year's meeting where he will discuss methods to develop collaborative efforts and engage communities around complex natural resource and community development issues.

Ann Jurcyk, Virginia Outreach and Advocacy Manager for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, and

Joe McCue, President of Friends of the Middle River, will compliment Dr. Dukes' presentation with examples of organizing and engaging local constituents around water quality issues through outreach and grassroots activities.

Following the speakers and lunch, Bobby Whitescarver (Chesapeake Bay Foundation) and John Kaylor (Headwaters Soil & Water Conservation District) will lead participants on a field trip to include visits to two farms within the Middle River watershed where an established riparian buffer and river walk, and an innovative stream fencing program focused on increasing participation by absentee landowners and tenant farmers will be on display.

Please follow this link to register no later than September 28th. We hope to see you there!
