Registration: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/256652
The Silicon Valley Watershed Summit is a gathering of activists and elected officials, agency staff and non-profit leaders, and the newly-interested, to learn about and take steps to improve our local watersheds in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. This event will focus on "Big Picture" issues that challenge the health of our watersheds, and teach skills that YOU can implement in your watershed and community. Participants will be able to congregate around specific topics and watersheds, and initiate "friends of" groups and public-private partnerships that will continue working together to promote, protect and restore our watersheds. Special speakers are Brock Dolman, Director of the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center's Water Institute, and Lester Snow, former California Secretary of Natural Resources and current Director of the California Water Foundation.
