Working Together to Protect Your Drinking Water Source

There are many benefits of collaborative relationships between water utilities, land conservation agencies and land trusts, and municipalities and counties to protect drinking water sources facing development pressure. Collaboration is not easy, however, and does not come naturally to all involved.  In this webinar, you will learn about the benefits of collaboration as well as how to overcome any challenges that may arise. Our panelists will share both the successes and lessons learned from getting outside their comfort zones and forging new partnerships. Presenters: Ed Suslovic, Program Manager - New England Environmental Finance Center, as well as a panel of water utility managers and land conservation group representatives
