In many small communities and urban cities throughout our country, people are working together to address a variety of water quality or other water-related issues. While we may not always focus on the connections of our upstream and downstream neighbors, as each watershed becomes healthier, others are also reaping those benefits. In this issue of the ECHO, learn about a new partnership in our region that will further these efforts through research and education.
If you have questions or comments about the ECHO, contact Vicki Fenwick-Judy at vicki.fenwick@canaanvi.org or 1-800-922-3601 ext. 257. To signup for our electronic ECHO click here.

The focus of this three day meeting, jointly sponsored by the Environmental Research Center at West Virginia University and Canaan Valley Institute, will identify research needs which can help researchers, policy makers, and stakeholders better understand the connections between uplands and costal areas. This includes the environmental stresses in the highlands that result from the considerable ecosystem services that the highlands provide to downstream communities. The conference will be held at CVI's new Research and Education Center near Davis, WV.

The Mid-Atlantic Highlands are a beautiful, vibrant, and exciting place to live. Communities are thriving, and new economies are developing. However, many environmental problems still plague the Highlands. While researchers have studied the highland environment for decades, no single entity has existed to expand and synthesize our knowledge about the interrelationships between environmental process, policy, and sustainability - until now.
