WEBINAR: June 18 – Improve MS4 Compliance and Water Quality by Leveraging Watershed Groups
Improving water quality, managing storm-water, and adapting to a changing climate are some of the most difficult challenges faced by municipal leaders in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Effectively-led watershed groups are an excellent community resource for municipalities seeking to mitigate those issues and comply with their MS4 requirements.
If you work for a municipality or are involved or interested in community development efforts, please join the Sustainable Community Development Network (SCDN), facilitated by Sustainable Pittsburgh, and Local Government Academy for a webinar to learn how the Allegheny Watershed Alliance, a program of the Allegheny County Conservation District, works with local watershed groups and municipal leadership to improve collaborative outcomes.
