The Green Infrastructure Summit of the Salish Sea
Time: All Day
Date: March 26, 2021
We are actively planning the next Green Infrastructure Summit for March 25th and 26th, 2021 and more details will be announced soon!
Given uncertainties surrounding COVID-19, the 2021 summit will again be an online event. When public health officials advise us, we will also organize an in-person networking event, but we won’t make any predictions on that just now. Following the success of the 2020 summit’s south Puget Sound spotlight, the 2021 summit will shift the spotlight north and bring special focus to north Puget Sound along with the usual emphasis on collaboration across the entire Puget Sound region and across sectors.
