David Lee, Natural Resources Director, Conserving Carolina
Lia Waldrum, Indigenous Partnership and Restoration Coordinator, Conserving Carolina
Join us to learn about Conserving Carolina’s innovative floodplain restoration projects along North Carolina’s French Broad River, focusing on their role in mitigating flood risks, improving biodiversity and enhancing water quality. Using real-world examples, such as the Pleasant Grove and Kings Bridge restorations, we’ll explore strategies to restore natural functions to floodplains and build resilience against extreme weather events like Tropical Storm Helene.
The Lunchtime Discovery Series is produced by the NC DEQ Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs in partnership with the NC Museum of Natural Sciences.
