Watershed Resiliency: Planning for Our Future
Registration is now closed for our annual Dinner and Discussion on May 21 from 4:30 pm – 7:30 pm. Location: Chapel at the Greenway Institute Campus, 36 College Street
Join us for a discussion of bylaw changes at 4:30, followed by dinner and a presentation from Kassia Randzio of the Vermont River Conservancy for a discussion of Montpelier’s watershed. She’ll help us think about the opportunities and responsibilities of living well along our rivers, and about what the Co-op might consider as we plan for our future. A Q&A will be held after the presentation. Register by Monday, May 18.
Presenter
Kassia joined VRC’s staff in 2021, bringing with her nearly two decades of experience at state and national conservation nonprofits, where she’s worked to inspire people to invest in protected lands and waters. As development and operations director, she leads efforts that make each of our conservation successes possible — from writing grants to secure funds for dam removal, to connecting donors with opportunities to protect riverside wetlands and forests, to overseeing the organizational systems that support all VRC’s efforts. Kassia’s basecamp is in Montpelier, VT, from where she heads out paddling, backpacking, XC skiing, and traveling, getting to know some of the world’s wildest places alongside her husband, daughter, and black lab.
Dinner presented by Hunger Mountain Co-op’s Prepared Foods department.
