Hudson River Watershed Conference: Aligning Actions for Clean Water
 The Hudson River Watershed Alliance will hold a virtual 2021 Watershed Conference October 25-28, presenting a different session each day. This year's conference theme is “Aligning Actions for Clean Water”. The conference sessions will share processes, resources, and case studies for watershed-scale planning that lead to coordinated actions to improve clean water and reduce flooding. The sessions include environmental justice, watershed planning foundations, understanding watershed conditions, and implementing the watershed plan. Participants may choose to attend some or all of the sessions. The conference agenda and registration information are available on the Hudson River Watershed Alliance website. The conference is co-sponsored by DEC's Hudson River Estuary Program.
Watch the Webinar: History of the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribe
 The Rensselaer Plateau Alliance began their 2021 Guest Speaker Series with a presentation on the History of the Stockbridge-Munsee, by Heather Bruegl, cultural affairs director for the Stockbridge Munsee Band of the Mohican Indians, a federally-recognized tribe with deep roots in the Hudson Valley region. The Tribe’s original territory spans the Hudson, Housatonic, and Delaware River valleys. The namesake of the Tribe is the Muhheaconneok, “the people of the waters that are never still.” Watch the recorded webinar now.
