SUMMARY:OHIO RIVER RESTORATION PLAN Indiana Public Engagement Session
DESCRIPTION:Come join the Indiana Wildlife Federation\, National Wildlife Federation\, and Ohio River Basin Alliance to learn about the Ohio River restoration plan. This ambitious plan lays out a framework for how federal funding can help transform this Ohio River basin\, an area that has for far too long been ignored. The Ohio River basin encompasses over 80% of the Hoosier state and for far too long we have ignored it. This plan is a major milestone in moving forward\, restoring this vast geographic area\, and improving life for humans and wildlife alike. We will discuss the plan\, future steps and how you can use your voice to help shape the future of the entire basin. We will be graciously hosted by the Sam Shine Foundation\, and drinks and light snacks will be provided. Registration is Required.

SUMMARY:Healthy Waters Coalition Session - Ohio River Restoration
DESCRIPTION:National Wildlife Federation is working with partners to form a coalition to restore and protect the waters of the Ohio River region by securing a regional restoration plan and the federal funding from the U.S. Congress to implement it. The region is vast – containing portions of Alabama\, Georgia\, Kentucky\, Illinois\, Indiana\, Maryland\, Mississippi\, New York\, North Carolina\, Ohio\, Pennsylvania\, Tennessee\, Virginia and West Virginia\, as well as the federally recognized Tribal Nations of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the Seneca Nation of Indians. \nIt is going to take all of us working together to secure the investments needed to address long-standing and emerging threats such as toxic pollution\, sewage contamination\, runoff\, mine waste\, habitat loss\, invasive species and flooding. \nBy establishing a regional coalition and working together\, we can show our collective strength and elevate the needs of the 30 million people within the region and attract the attention this region deserves to protect our drinking water\, public health\, jobs\, and quality of life. \nOn the call\, we will discuss the objectives of the coalition\, the benefits to member organizations\, and examples of other coalitions that have helped to advance largescale ecosystem restoration efforts across the country. We will hold space to discuss the goals and opportunities for engagement with the coalition and answer any questions you may have! \nRegister Here!
