Save the Date! The 8th Annual CVW Stormwater and Plastic Pollution Workshop will be held at Pocahontas State Park on September 9, 2025 from 11am to 5pm.

Registration and Agenda Coming Soon!

Join Clean Virginia Waterways and the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program on September 9th at Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfield, VA for a workshop to discuss the impacts of debris and plastic pollution on stormwater management systems. 

This one-day workshop will address the pressing need to address stormwater challenges in Virginia, where rising sea levels and increased precipitation intensify the risks of flooding and water pollution. Workshop participants will be equipped with practical strategies and innovative approaches to manage stormwater effectively while enhancing the resilience of their communities. This workshop will emphasize the need for collaboration and proactive planning to mitigate the impacts of stormwater on both natural ecosystems and human settlements in Virginia.

You’ll have a chance to ask questions, share best practices from your locality, connect with colleagues across the region, and provide your insights on this important topic! We look forward to this opportunity to connect with you.
