The goal of the video conference was to promote regional cooperation among watershed professionals in the Great Lakes states, document success stories, and encourage new approaches. There were three featured "extraordinary people" from each state who shared their stories. Visit http://ohiowatersheds.osu.edu/ep/ to learn about these extraordinary individuals.
