Devon Buckels and Lauren Berent were able to attend The Sustaining Watersheds Conference in Avon last week! The Water Connection and The Greenway Foundation was one of the sponsors, and we were so happy to be able to participate in such a great learning experience with water professionals from both sides of the continental divide.
Devon attended the entire conference and acted as an ambassador for The Water Connection and The Greenway Foundation. She sat in on seminars and panel discussions on topics ranging from collaborative watershed management, implementation of the Colorado State Water Plan, and even riparian restoration! Devon put faces to organizations and strengthened relationships with existing partners to help further The Water Connection's efforts here in Denver! Lauren attended a ThinkWater Workshop on the first day of the conference, where the concept of systems thinking was applied to environmental and water education. It was exceptionally useful to view our education program participants as part of an existing system who already have a mental map of the world around them. Lauren can’t wait to use what she learned in SPREE’s upcoming programs.
