Water is one of our most basic needs. The greater Burlington community is fortunate to have the water of Lake Champlain at our doorstep. We drink it, play in it, irrigate with it, move people and things in it. Our shared use and history helps bring our community together. But recently, water quality issues have been an increasingly big challenge. How has this impacted our community's health, well-being, and culture? Can we manage this incredible resource, balancing the many different needs of residents, farmers, businesses and tourists, and still preserve our water quality? Join us on October 17th for a brown bag lunch & panel discussion focused on water quality and justice. Scientists, policy experts and advocates on our panel will share ways that we as a community can support our waterways for generations to come.

Panelists include Ashley Eaton, UVM; Megan Moir, City of Burlington; Lori Fisher, Lake Champlain Committee.
