In this interactive roundtable session, you’ll learn about the top community goals for improve climate resilience and water quality in the Blackstone Watershed and engage with practitioners and researchers from multiple local universities to determine best ways to have your academic work provide on-the-ground community benefits.

Share your projects, build connections with the Blackstone Collaborative as on-campus resource, and forge relationships with outside institutions. The goal is to have conversations that help us grow as practitioners and build partnerships that help create healthy, climate-resilient communities right here in the Blackstone Valley. From enhancing fish passage, replacing culverts, improving equitable access, building nature based solutions, improving local zoning, or integrated indigenous voices - we want to work on it all and welcome your input. 

This session is open to all and will be facilitated by Stefanie Covino, Program Manager of the Blackstone Watershed Collaborative at the Marsh Institute.
