NWC News Release- Organization Changes 2025

Then National Watershed Coalition has announced Leadership Changes coming in January 2025. Click on the link above for a press release with the details

The National Watershed Coalition in partnership with Jones & DeMille Engineering and NRCS staff sponsored two webinars in June 2024 bringing together leading experts and practitioners in engineering, watershed protection and conservation, and watershed planning and implementation.

June 18th - "PIFR Mastery: Navigating PIFR Preparation," that provided innovative solutions and invaluable insights into the preparation of Preliminary Investigation Feasibility Reports (PIFRs). This session provided ideas to streamline processes, and encourage broad collaboration. Lessons were shared that could help enhance your project's efficiency and impact.

June 25th webinar - "Unlocking the EWP Program: Strategies for Success," an in-depth exploration of the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) program. Our experts guided participants through essential strategies, practical tips, and best practices to overcome common challenges to equip them for success in every aspect of the EWP process.  

Videos of these two webinars can now be found on the National Watershed Coalition YouTube Channel at:

We regularly advocate for the USDA NRCS Emergency Watershed Protection program (EWP) with the hope that it won’t have to be pressed into service. Hurricane Helene is the type of incident that magnifies the importance of EWP and the EWP is an important part of the effort to muster recovery resources. If you were in the storm path our hearts and wishes for a rapid recovery go out to you. If you are wondering how you can help..a simple step would be to share information about EWP opportunities with those in charge of the recovery effort. Feel free to share the information posted below. ... See MoreSee Less

More good stuff from Boston…where partnership is the name of the game! The ongoing partnership with NASCA and the Coalition yields new opportunity for both groups. We find that an engaged state conservation agency makes for stronger local project sponsors and more robust Watershed Program engagement. USDA NRCS and the National Association of Conservation Districts are also key partners in the mix!Pictured in Boston are L to R: NASCA President Tyler Brown-SC, NASCA NE Rep Frank Minch-NJ, NWC past Chair Lisa Knauf Owen-OK, Current NWC Chair Tina Hendon-TX and NASCA Executive Director Mike Beacom-WI. ...
