The Colorado State University Watershed Science program celebrated its 50 year anniversary in 2008. In honor of the occasion, we held a celebration of science, reflection, and vision. Participants had a chance to reunite with friends and colleagues, meet watershed folks spanning multiple generations, and participate in the discussion about the future of watershed science and management. The anniversary celebration included three days of activities, two of which overlapped with the annual AGU Hydrology Days conference.
The celebration was a resounding success bringing together several generations of “watershedders.”
