    SPONSORS

    This presentation of the Green Communities Speaker Series is brought to you by the South Coastal Watershed Network and the Citizen Planner Training Collaborative. The SCWNetwork is an informal group of conservationists, municipal officials, government agencies, and developers who work together to protect our region’s water resources. As the South Shore continues to develop at a rapid pace, these stakeholders play an increasingly important role in environmental protection. The SCWNetwork is coordinated by the North and South Rivers Watershed Association, the Massachusetts Bays National Estuary Program, and the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management.
