CDRPC Webinar: Wetland Conservation: What Do We Have to Lose?

This webinar will provide an introduction to the diversity of wetlands in the Hudson Valley and the benefits they provide for clean water, wildlife, and climate adaptation. In many planning situations, wetlands are viewed as notations on a site plan — this webinar is designed to bring wetlands to life and expand understanding of their complexity and value to our communities. Municipal approaches to wetland conservation will also be discussed.

Presented by Laura Heady, Conservation and Land Use Program Coordinator, DEC Hudson River Estuary Program and Cornell University
