SUMMARY:Summer Education Series: Ready\, Set\, Restore!
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, July 16\, from 6 PM to 7:30 PM for a free virtual class with two presenters from Austin’s Watershed Protection Department. Meghan Slocombe will discuss the impacts of urbanization on water cycle processes and stream ecology\, and provide an overview of WPD monitoring. Liz Cardinal will teach us about land management practices in Grow Zones and the positive impacts of community stewardship in Austin on riparian health.   We will examine how concepts of urban stream ecology apply to the work that volunteers do in the Ready\, Set\, Plant! program and discuss how WPD protects our community’s lives\, property\, and environment by reducing the impacts of flooding\, erosion\, and water pollution. \nMeghan Slocombe is an Environmental Scientist in the Applied Watershed Science section of the City of Austin Watershed Protection Department. Her work focuses on monitoring water quality and assessing stream health across Austin. Meghan holds a Master of Science in Ecology from Utah State University and a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Meghan is passionate about community engagement\, climate resilience\, and science with real-world applications. She loves spending time in Austin’s beautiful streams\, whether she is out measuring water quality during the workday or enjoying a relaxing evening in her kayak! \nLiz Cardinal is a dedicated environmental stewardship professional with over eight years of experience working alongside nonprofit\, community\, and government organizations to drive positive change in parks and greenspaces. She currently manages the Grow Zone Program at Austin Watershed Protection. The program designates\, restores\, and protects over 260 acres of riparian zones in Austin watersheds. She works closely with nonprofit partners and citizen volunteers to help clean up creeks and waterways and carry out restoration projects like litter abatement\, invasive species removal and native planting.  She holds a B.S. in Environmental Communication from The Ohio State University\, and a M.S. in Science Education from Portland State University. \nThis training is free and open to anyone\, but you must register to attend.
