April 23, 2015 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EDT

America has gone from an era in which every river was seen as something to be dammed, diverted, or destroyed, to a new era of river restoration.  Bob Irvin, President of American Rivers, the nation’s leading conservation group working to protect and restore rivers, will discuss this transformation, telling stories of hope about river protection and restoration as well as the challenges ahead.
