Hi, Watershed Friends!

Spring is in full swing! That means spring showers and flowers.....and return to field/stream season for many of us. We look forward to working with you as we continue to make positive watershed impacts in stormwater and invasive plant management, stream bank stabilization, water quality monitoring, forest health, and more.

See you soon at an upcoming WVP event. In the meantime, I hope that you enjoy the recently recorded past events.

Be well,

Lisa Meranti
