Beyond the Jones Falls: Sustainable Science, Environmental Engineering, and Community Greening Recap

The conference, developed by the Friends of The Jones Falls and the Environmental & Water Resources Institute, was held on September 23 & 24 at Union Craft Brewing. It brought together a great cross section of Maryland environmental professionals, practitioners and regulators, university environmental science researchers and students, community activists and greening volunteers.
 
120 attendees enjoyed day-long opportunities that Friday to explore the science of the environment, green infrastructure, environmental sustainability and policy plus extensive aspects of climate change confronting us. The following morning, 15 people attended Jones Falls stream walk adjoining Union Craft Collective led by Blue Water Baltimore scientists Alice Volpitta and Barbara Johnson.
