The New Jersey Council of Watershed Associations (NJCWA) was initially convened to bring the state's watershed organizations together to advocate effectively on a number of issues, as well as share information among its members. Meetings are held quarterly with presentations from peers who are successfully improving the conditions in their own watersheds and building the capacity of their own organizations. Tap into their expertise and learn strategies that you can adapt and bring into your watershed. Several committees have formed to discuss specific areas such as watershed management, fundraising, accounting, and boards. A listserv was also created to keep groups informed of upcoming events and opportunities. Below is a list of upcoming meetings.

Join the NJCWA email listserv!
 The Watershed Institute/NJCWA Listserv went down on April 10 and could not be recovered. We are researching options to get the listserv up and running again. Please check back for updates. We greatly appreciate your patience as we work to recreate the listserv.
This email group is aimed specifically at people involved with watershed organizations throughout New Jersey, to provide them with a forum to share their ideas, successes and concerns. Every Friday, a weekly announcement is distributed to inform groups of upcoming events, new funding opportunities, and resources to assist your organization's efforts.
