Freshwater Future was pleased to have the opportunity to present to urban planners from across North America at the National Planning Conference. Our panelists were (Left to Right): Valerie Olinik-Damstra of Bad River Watershed Association, Marcy Colclough of Two Rivers Coalition, Melanie Napoleon Welch of Freshwater Future, and Deborah Dorsey of West Grand Boulevard Collaborative. Their session, Citizen Involvement in Decision-Making for Water, demonstrated the need for citizen involvement in local-level decisions to ensure stronger protections and increased community stewardship.
