5th annual meeting of the Watershed Forestry Partnership
The Watershed Forestry Partnership is an open collaborative of practitioners, researchers, agency representatives, and others who share knowledge and best practices, facilitate research, and coordinate efforts to restore and manage the forests that protect water resources and habitat in the Lake Champlain basin. This year’s meeting will focus on funding for riparian buffers, seed collection and nursery production of native trees, and improving the outcomes of riparian forest restoration projects.

The meeting will take place in-person on March 27 from 8:30a – 4:30p at the Davis Center of the University of Vermont campus in Burlington.
