Haywood Community College will welcome multiple speakers, guests and partners to campus on Friday, March 20, for the WNC Environmental Summit.
The WNC Environmental Summit will provide educational opportunities for regional groups to come together, share ideas, encourage each other and take action to make a difference.
Community leaders, experts, agencies and partners will share expertise related to WNC environmental topics. The conference is designed for adults and youth, offering opportunities for everyone to share ideas and connect.
This conference will inspire hope to take action through various presentations and workshops. Programs will feature local youth action leaders, community leaders and scientists. Special youth-led sessions will allow middle and high school students to collaborate and discover ways to step up as leaders.
Additional science speakers will participate in two panels: one on fish and wildlife conservation and change, and the other on resilience in WNC’s waterways. Featuring over 20 community partners, this event will showcase the good work being done in our region with hands-on workshops and teaching booths.
This event will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, March 20, on the campus of Haywood Community College. The conference is free to attend. For more details or to RSVP, visit haywood.edu/events/summit.php.
