Building on the success of our 2008 Napa County Watershed Symposium (see results here), this year’s event will tackle the important topic of:

“Stewarding Napa County’s Watersheds in a Changing World!”  

Symposium attendees will learn and share how our natural resources are expected to change over the next 50 years, how different resources are affected by environmental, social, and economic changes, and how current resource management and stewardship practices can respond to these changing conditions.
