Join us for the second annual Upper Gila Watershed Forum (Formerly Upper Gila River State of the Watershed Meeting) on January 11th at Eastern Arizona College in Thatcher, Arizona. This year's topic, "Adapting to a Hotter and Drier Future," will explore how, as a community, we are adjusting our agricultural, business, and household practices to prepare for hotter and drier scenarios. The forum also provides a place to share experiences and lessons learned with neighboring communities. All are welcome!

The Society for Ecological Restoration, Southwest Chapter (SER-SW) was formed in 2011 to facilitate communication and encourage coordination among land managers, researchers, and restorationists working in the southwestern United States, where minimal and variable precipitation presents unique challenges for the restoration of degraded ecosystems.
