Upcoming Event: St. Louis Stream Team Summit - September 17th

On September 17th, Stream Team volunteers from across the area are invited to the St. Louis Stream Team Summit.  Summit topics were chosen based on the results of a survey that was sent out to all of the Stream Teams in St. Louis area and will include regional pollution problems, flash flooding, rain gardens, invasive species, and local restoration efforts.

Featured plenary speakers include:
  • Holly Neill, Executive Director of the Missouri Stream Team Watershed Coalition,
  • Lance LeComb, Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District, and 
  • Tom Siegel, Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

The Summit will run from 9:00 till 4:30 with the registration table opening at 8:15.  Lunch is provided.  Admission of $10 per person is due in advance to the Missouri Stream Team Watershed Coalition - all proceeds will be divided between the three Stream Team Associations that serve the St. Louis area:
  • Greenway Network,
  • Northern Ozarks River Partnership (NORP), and
  • River des Peres Watershed Coalition (RdPWC).
