Communications Kit: Community and Economic Benefits of Conservation Success
The WIP Engagement Action Team developed this set of materials to help local leaders across the watershed communicate the many ways successful water quality conservation projects benefit communities and the economic bottom line, in addition to the environment. They can consult, share electronically, or print these materials for a range of outreach efforts, such as presentations; exhibits; and email, enewsletter, social media, and website delivery.
