National Watershed Forum to discuss watersheds of America

June 22, 2001 — Representatives from watershed initiatives around the country will gather in Arlington, Virginia next week, for the first National Watershed Forum.

The Meridian Institute, in collaboration with EPA, designed the June 28-July 1 Forum to be an unprecedented event to give voice to the broad diversity of stakeholders concerned with the future of watersheds in America.

Delegates at the Forum will share their visions for the future of our nation's watersheds and frame recommendations for future policies and actions.

The recommendations will be delivered at the Forum to a critical group of senior decision makers from government and the private sector. For more information on the National Watershed Forum, visit http://www.epa.gov/owow/watershed/conferences.html.
