The Friends of Green River Reservoir and The Nature Conservancy in Vermont are hosting a webinar to talk about the future of Green River Reservoir.

The webinar will be held on Tuesday, May 10 at 7 pm on Zoom and is open to the public. Members of the Friends of Green River Reservoir are encouraged to attend.

Morrisville Water & Light has taken steps to apply for permission from the federal government to decommission the hydro facility, which could potentially result in the removal of the dam and the draining of the reservoir. The State of Vermont and the Vermont conservation community are working to protect the reservoir and the surrounding state park for the ecological and recreational values they hold.

The webinar will be a panel discussion with leaders of Vermont's conservation organizations and state government. Panelists include Julie Moore, secretary of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources; Michael Snyder, commissioner of the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks & Recreation; Heather Furman, state director at The Nature Conservancy in Vermont; Jon Groveman, policy and water program director at the Vermont Natural Resources Council; Sally Laughlin, president of Friends of Green River Reservoir; and Anthony Iarrapino, environmental attorney and special advisor to Friends of Green River Reservoir.
