Quality Collaborations: Coming Together to Ensure Clean Water for a Healthy, Working River

Friday, February 28, 2020  |  8:00 am – 4:30 pm
Embassy Suites Hotel and Conference Center
4705 Clydesdale Parkway | Loveland, CO 80538

The Poudre River Forum, an initiative of the Poudre Runs Through It Study/Action Work Group (PRTI), brings together those on the Poudre who farm, deliver clean potable water, drink beer, recreate, and advocate for river health to learn from one another and to explore how we can move from conflict to collaboration. Join us for this year’s event to engage with other Poudre River enthusiasts!

This year’s program includes topics that dive into water quality challenges in the Poudre Basin including:

  • Historical water quality perspectives
  • Water quality controls and tradeoffs
  • Ecosystem impacts on water quality
  • Municipal, agricultural, and environmental perspectives on water quality

A draft of the day’s program will be available soon!

Your registration fee includes the full day’s program as well as breakfast, lunch, and a closing reception. A limited number of complimentary student and discounted registrations are also available.
