2012 Green Lands Blue Waters Partnership Conference

Date: Monday, October 15th, 2012 to Tuesday, October 16th, 2012

Location: Iowa State University Memorial Union, Ames, Iowa

Contact: Richard Warner, rhwarner@umn.edu, and Jeri Neal, wink@iastate.edu

The conference goal is to build partnerships among organizations and individuals working to increase acreage of continuous living cover in the U.S. Midwest.

This year, Green Lands Blue Waters (GLBW) is expanding our annual meeting to engage collaborators from regional working groups supported by GLBW and from watersheds where GLBW partners are supporting adoption of continuous living cover. In this conference, we will:

1. strengthen the regional working groups by expanding their network of participants,
2. expand collaborations among working groups,
3. exchange information and build relationships among practitioners from different watersheds, and
4. strengthen relationships between regional working groups and watershed-based partnerships.
