SUMMARY:River Rising: Brewing Up Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, July 11 | 6 p.m. | Intuition Ale Works\nIt is critical that we all do our part now to tackle climate change to protect our waterways and the future of Northeast Florida. This month\, we will explore how natural solutions and green infrastructure play a major role in protecting our river and its tributaries while making Jacksonville more resilient to rising waters and climate change. \nGroundwork Jacksonville’s Dylan Ford and HALFF’s Kyle Schare will be our experts discussing how creek restoration and smart landscape design improve our quality of life while protecting our community and our river for future generations. \nCome for a pint and for meaningful conversation on how we can all be part of the solution. Rising Tides\, St. Johns Riverkeeper’s young professionals group\, will be in attendance and meeting prior to the event! \nThis is part of our 2023 series of brewery conversations exploring solutions to climate change\, sea level rise\, and the pollution problems threatening the health of our river and our communities. Brought to you by St. Johns Riverkeeper’s Water Policy Group. \nRegister\nRSVP and let us know you’re coming. \nMeet the Panel\nDylan Ford: Landscape Architect/Project Manager at Groundwork Jacksonville \nDylan Ford is Groundwork Jacksonville’s Landscape Architect and Project Manager\, responsible for designing native landscapes for the Emerald Trail\, as well as managing watershed and restoration projects for McCoys Creek and Hogans Creek.
