We are kicking off our series with a webinar on Restoring Stream Banks. Many of the streams that run through our backyards and parks lack a healthy stream bank. By working to restore stream banks, community members can help to stop erosion, reduce flooding and improve the health and quality of streams. Learn from the experts at Princeton Hydro about what makes a healthy stream bank and how you can help to restore a stream bank near you.

This webinar will be given by Princeton Hydro's Jake Dittes, Water Resource Engineer/Project Manager, Casey Schrading, Staff Engineer, and Cory Speroff, Landscape Architect.
