Sustainability at the In-Person Watershed Congress 

The organizers of the Watershed Congress strive to present an event that is environmentally beneficial, sustainable, and continuously improving. As a result, we work closely with our venue and partners to include a variety of sustainable practices at the Watershed Congress. Attendees can also play a large part in helping us host a sustainable event. 

Sustainable Practices at the Watershed Congress

This year, the Watershed Congress will be:

• Serving food that comes from sustainable producers and processors in New Jersey and Pennsylvania including from farms in Berks, Chester, Lancaster, and Schuylkill Counties, to the extent possible.

• Raising awareness of the diet-climate connection, this year's Watershed Congress will provide participants meatless meals. Our food service will be provided by Bause Catering. 

• Serving water in pitchers instead of offering single-use plastic bottles so participants can utilize reusable bottles. 

• Maximizing electronic communication and limiting print material.
