Kudos for the Watershed Symposium

Some of our favorite comments over the years:

"It was great to attend a conference with such a breadth of topics and technical/big-picture talks."

"This is one of the best opportunities to network and build partnering relationships toward supporting a healthier watershed. The free admission and food makes it possible for all to attend and its timely content makes it appealing to an interesting cross-section of professions and disciplines. Great job!"

"Seriously one of the best, well-run conferences I've ever attended."

"It's a wonderful gestalt of useful and insightful information about what's going on in the watershed, which is of course an important bottomline. I love the networking potential and am very proud of the work that Salt Lake County is doing in this area."  ~Lynn DeFreitas, FRIENDS of Great Salt Lake

"The Symposium is tremendously important to the future of all of Utah."  ~Zach Frankel, Utah Rivers Council
