At the request of the Executive Subcommittee, Dr. John Jackson has graciously agreed to do a presentation on the science behind the value of reforesting watersheds up to as much as 40%. He will address the societal challenges associated with reaching such goals. This presentation will help to guide the Management Committee as we begin conducting a study on reforesting our watershed and plan future projects to utilize reforestation as a tool to address water quality and quantity issues.
