Millennium Harvest House Boulder

Boulder, CO – June 10-14, 2015

Waterkeeper Alliance’s Annual Conference is the largest gathering of Waterkeeper advocates, which now number over 240 Waterkeeper programs across 26 countries.

Our local co-hosts are the Poudre Riverkeeper, Colorado Riverkeeper, Alamosa Riverkeeper, and the Roaring Fork Waterkeeper. This conference will also provide an opportunity for these organizations to showcase their important regional and local work to a variety of audiences.

Boulder is the ideal setting to convene for four days of training workshops, inspiring speakers and networking to help Waterkeeper members and affiliates learn and strategize about vital watershed issues such as climate change mitigation, stormwater pollution, water diversions, and much more.
