"At a conference scheduled for this weekend at Ursinus College, private citizens who want to clean up their local streams will have a chance to meet with technical professionals who can help them protect and restore those waterways. Sprawling development in the area has caused problems with storm-water management and erosion. Both good and bad storm-water practices will be highlighted at the conference. About 170 people are expected to attend the two-day event. Participants have a choice of how-to classes, including instruction on taking legal action to protect streams, writing grants and using dam removal to restore rivers."

I love the variety of courses, many practical, and all richly illustrated. They have inspired many ideas that I've applied in practice, and in my own teaching. Mary G., Urban Planner
