Two days of inter-active panels, issue-specific break-out sessions and presentations exploring the most important issues of the day facing large lakes experiencing rapid growth and development. Learn through the examples of those working on lake issues in other regions of the western U.S. and Canada. The program includes lake experts from Tahoe (California and Nevada), and Coeur d’Alene and Pend Oreille (Idaho), plus other presenters from Oregon, Alberta and Montana.
Who should attend? Those on the front lines of environmental regulations, enforcement and lake advocacy, including state legislators, county commissioners, county, neighborhood and city planning board members, mayors and city council representatives, land planning and public health agencies, representatives of lake organizations and other public policy non-profit groups – anyone interested in the future of lakes and how to protect them.
What will you learn? Ideas for new voluntary, incentive-based and regulatory techniques, how to improve cooperation in multi-jurisdictional areas, better ways to engage the public in lake issues, dealing with such critical issues as invasive species, and many other topics of interest to all who want to protect and preserve the water quality of Flathead, Whitefish, Swan, Ashley, Little Bitterroot and other large lakes in the Flathead Basin.
Co-sponsored by the Flathead Basin Commission, Flathead Lakers, Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes
