Genesee RiverWatch Summit Survey 2022

We are interested in obtaining your feedback as we plan for the 2023 Genesee River Basin Summit

Since 2014, Genesee RiverWatch has hosted an annual Genesee River Basin Summit to provide a forum for interested stakeholders to share information and determine actions to improve the water quality of the Genesee River Basin and connect people to the river. Up until 2020, the Summits were held as full day in-person conferences. Due to the pandemic, for the last two years the “summit” has been held as a series of Zoom-hosted 90 minute workshops. The topics ranged from a more technical nature (e.g. Streambank Restoration) to “How to plan a trip on the river in canoe or kayak”. We would appreciate your feedback on how to proceed in the future.
