Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon's keynote speech kicked off the 4th Annual Salt Lake County Watershed Symposium, followed by signing of the
Jordan River Commission agreement.
Breakout sessions, field trips, and workshops covered a broad scope of topics on water quality, pollution control and nature protection issues of local, regional, and national relevance. As with previous years, we received great feedback. The consensus being that the Watershed Symposium is a worthwhile event that people would like to see grow. With continuing support, we hope to do just that!
