Join MountainTrue's Americorps Water Quality Administrator, Mara Chamlee, to learn about her Master's Capstone work at Colorado State University focused on the Yampa River in Northwest Colorado. Although the Western United States faces a different set of challenges when it comes to water conservation, there are many lessons to be learned on how communities define what a "healthy river" means to them. Those lessons can be applied to river systems across the country and here in Western North Carolina.

On Thursday, February 10th, Virtual Hendersonville Green Drinks welcomes Chris Joyell, MountainTrue’s Healthy Communities Director, to discuss the concept of “smart growth,” looking at ways we can make our cities and towns more liveable.
