Our mission is to promote understanding of water resources and related issues by providing a multidisciplinary forum for information exchange, professional development, and education. Our vision is to be recognized as the preeminent organization for information exchange about water resources issues.
The Wetlands Club will be visiting the Holly Factory in NE Alachua this
weekend. The plan is to pot up and set out 1000 cypress seedlings. These
will be used as both a fundraiser for the club as well as providing
planting material for future native tree plantings events. We have the
materials the seedlings and the irrigated space (courtesy of the Holly
factory), we just need to bring them all together. So come lend us a
hand, for what should be a fun time.

Hey AWRAers,
The next AWRA state meeting is coming up on January 22 in Jacksonville. This meeting should be a lot of fun and it is easy for us to get to, so we hope to have a good turnout. The Mayor of Jacksonville will be presenting over lunch, and the new Colonel of the Army Corps will be concluding the presentations. This will only be a day trip, but it will be a great opportunity for people to get more involved with the club and see what a conference is like.

Hey AWRAers,
This year’s national AWRA conference will take place on November 9 through 12 in Seattle, Washington. The registration deadline is coming up, so I need to know who is interested in attending within the next few days. We will be scheduling an interest meeting for next week, depending on your responses, to go over travel expenses, registration, etc.
This will be a great time to learn about what’s new in water resources, network with companies from around the U.S, and explore a new city. Feel free to e-mail me with any questions or concerns.
Christina
