Upcoming Conferences

To bring a select group of water leaders from New England together with experts from other parts of the United States to exchange ideas about how to advance the integration of drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater planning and management for the 21st century. The program will highlight watershed-based examples that exemplify key technical and governance challenges in New England, and relevant lessons and solutions from other regions. Together, Forum participants will identify cross-cutting principles and broadly applicable recommendations to help advance “one water” planning and management in New England and beyond.

The purpose of the 2012 Berkley Workshop is to explore these and related questions as part of an on-going effort to inform and make even more effective the strategies used by conservation organizations in the US. An integrated, cross-regional and cross-sectoral approach will be taken, both to reflect the variations in landscapes, economies and conservation efforts across the US, as well as to distill out any common themes or identify any opportunities for sharing information and resources even more effectively. The workshop will draw experiences, success stories, lessons learned and ideas for moving forward from the participants, and the results of the workshop will be published by the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies as part of the on-going Berkley Workshop series.
