We are excited to welcome two experts to tell us about state-level floodplain restoration and protection policies in Washington and Vermont, including the nuts-and-bolts of the policy and what drove action by decision makers:
- Kathleen (Kas) Guillozet is the Senior Director of Bonneville Environmental Foundation’s Watershed Program to tell us about Washington’s Floodplains by Design program and lessons she and her partners learned along the way
- Mike Kline is a River Ecologist who worked as the State of Vermont’s Rivers Program Manager to tell us about Vermont’s Functioning Floodplains Initiative and lessons he and his team learned in the process
Both states’ policies and the speakers are newly featured in River Network’s State Policy Hub.
