River Journey Speaker Series

Listen, discuss, and learn as we continue our series addressing issues of water conservation and river preservation to raise awareness among the community, water ecology experts, and decision makers.

August 2021 – One World One Water Center: Growing with the Changing World

The One World One Water Center has created unique educational, collaborative, and experiential opportunities since 2012. As OWOW approaches its ten-year anniversary, we’re reflecting on all we’ve learned to reignite our core intentions and adapt them to the changing world we now all operate within. During this talk, we will discuss creating new avenues of accessible education, capitalizing on the tools a hybrid work-life creates, international and local relationships that influence the resources we create and share here in Colorado, and much more.
