Join us on May 14th in Gloucester Point, VA for a day of knowledge exchange and networking, focusing this year on Protected Areas, People, and Science in our watershed system.

The biennial York Watershed System Symposium convenes practitioners and residents throughout the York River, Mobjack Bay, Piankatank River basins, and beyond(!) for a day of knowledge exchange and networking.

Hosted by CBNERR-VA on the VIMS campus, this forum offers an opportunity to learn of watershed research, education, stewardship, and management efforts - past, present, and future - from a variety of regional perspectives.

This year's theme, Protected Areas, People, and Science, will offer a glimpse at conservation lands and waters in our watershed system - their operations, their impact, the challenges they face, and the needs surrounding them.

Find inspiration in keynotes and a series of place-based presentations, in addition to a poster expo and networking opportunities. Headlining the event this year will be Jon Jarvis, 18th Director of the National Park Service; Inaugural Executive Director and current Chairman of the Board at UC Berkeley's Institute for Parks, People and Biodiversity; and William & Mary alum.

Registration is free but required by COB April 30 to secure a lunch.
