Please join Charles River Watershed Association and Massachusetts Rivers Alliance on WEDNESDAY, September 27th at 11:00 AM for an update on the status of some of the most pressing environmental legislation for the 2023-2024 session! We'll also cover the recent increases to environmental agencies in the State Budget.

Among the bills we will be discussing are:

• Drought Management Bill (H.861, S.475)

• MVP+ Bill (S.599)

• Outdoor Recreation Act (H.757, S.488)

• Flood Reduction Protection Act (H.876, S.557)

• Invasive Species Bill (H.890, S.508)

• Pesticide Bill (H.825, S.487)

Together, these priorities respond to the dual threats of climate change and environmental injustice––offering solutions to protect our communities from drought and flooding, create inclusive outdoor recreation opportunities, and restore a healthy ecosystem.

Speakers include Policy Director Katharine Lange from Massachusetts Rivers Alliance and Policy Advocate Zeus Smith from Charles River Watershed Association.
