In this session, you'll learn about Partnership Wild and Scenic Rivers and how designation can unlock additional resources to benefit local communities and river values. You will explore whether designation is right for your river and discover how Partnership Rivers differ from other components of the National Wild and Scenic River System. The Upper Missisquoi and Trout Rivers will be used as a case study of the path that river advocates in Vermont followed to achieve designation. Session leaders will share examples of the positive changes that resulted in the case study and how those changes can be replicated to provide lasting benefits elsewhere.
