Susquehanna River Symposium

The Bucknell University Environmental Center will be hosting the 3rd Annual Susquehanna River Symposium on September 12th and 13th. 
 

The focus of this year's symposium will be "The Susquehanna River and Agriculture."  The goal of the symposium is to bring farmers, scientists, and the public together for community-wide discussions about the complex environmental issues facing agriculture and the Susquehanna River.  The event is open to both the community and the entire Bucknell campus; we'd especially like to see students participate. 
 

The presentations and discussions are designed to deepen our understanding, stimulate new insights, and provide direction for the future.
 

Special guests will include regional and national leaders in agricultural policy and the environment, notably Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Dennis Wolfe, U.S. Congressman Chris Carney, Susquehanna River Basin Commission director Paul Swartz, PA Representative Russ Fairchild. Presentations will also be made by Allen Ard of Ard's Farm Market, Jim Brubaker of the PA Farm Bureau, and Union County Commissioner Preston Boop.  Deputy Secretary for Water Management at Pennsylvania DEP, will moderator Saturday morning's events.

We will provide a link to the full event brochure once it is posted online.

Please join us at this event in September. Capacity is limited, and registration is required the day of the event.  Any questions should go to Ben Hayes, the Environmental Center's Susquehanna River Coordinator, at benjamin.hayes@bucknell.edu.
