About this event

The purpose of the BRSC Stewardship Community of Practice is to bring together individuals and organizations that operate in the Battle River and Sounding Creek watersheds, and who are committed to working to advance stewardship actions through the creation and exchange of knowledge and experience.

This gathering is to have a discussion about how we, as a community of practice, can amplify the great work we are doing, how we are all aligned and connected with the BRWA’s State of the Watershed, and how we can strategically work together to implement those recommendations.
