Connecting with Susquehanna stakeholders at Bucknell University’s Annual River Symposium

Vanessa Vargas-Nguyen delivered one of the plenary addresses at the 18th Annual River Symposium hosted by Bucknell University from November 3–4 in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. This year’s theme is sustaining the river’s communities while maintaining the health of the Bay. Chief and Faithkeeper Oren Lyons of the Onondaga and Seneca Nations provided the indigenous perspective while the keynote was delivered by Denice Wardrop, Executive Director of the Chesapeake Research Consortium. The symposium provided an excellent opportunity to connect with and share the Chesapeake Bay and Watershed report card with stakeholders from the Susquehanna watershed. Additionally, Vanessa facilitated a breakout discussion on community engagement and participated in a panel discussion with John Clune of USGS and Harry Campbell of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
