Watershed Network

Ohio Watershed

Coordinators Network

On April 7 several watershed coordinators from across Ohio met in Columbus to discuss the formation of a watershed network.  This meeting was the third in a series (the first was held during the 62nd annual OFSWCD meeting, the second was held during OWLS 2005).  The goal of the meetings was to lay the groundwork for an network of watershed coordinators, through which we could cooperate with one-another while building the capacity of Ohio's watershed program.  Information on the network will be displayed on this site as a temporary home.  A listserv is being developed, and other activities are planned for the summer and fall of 2006.  You can download the files below, which include minutes from the meetings we have held to date.
