    The Conference is based on the results of the Verde Watershed Report Card. In 2018, Friends, in partnership with The Nature Conservancy and the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, with funding from US Forest Service, initiated the development of a Watershed Report Card to define and measure the condition (status and trends) of the Verde watershed.  The results of the Watershed Report Card will be presented at the 2019 State of the Watershed Conference.

    Over the last two years, stakeholders came together in workshops and small groups to conceptualize the watershed, create a shared vision, and discuss indicators for the Verde Watershed Report Card. Report cards report on the health of watersheds based on evaluation of a set of scientifically-derived indicators and thresholds.

    This conference is for anyone who cares about water in Arizona and wants to learn about the health of the Verde Watershed. Early discounted registration opens online, Friday, August 30, 2019. The first State of the Watershed Conference was presented in 2017 in Clarkdale, AZ and focused on providing experiences through workshops, presentations, and discussion to address habitat, flow, sustainable outdoor recreation opportunities, and critical watershed issues.

In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
