Lunchtime Talk with the Potomac Riverkeeper Network
Join the Environmental and Energy Law Program and Sustainable GW for a lunchtime talk with Phillip Musegaas, Vice President of Programs and Litigation, Potomac Riverkeeper Network (PRKN), to discuss the work of the PRKN including recent advocacy and litigation successes in their efforts to protect the Potomac River. He will also address future challenges for the river and will outline different ways, legal and otherwise, for students to contribute to river protection efforts.
