Renewing the Blue: Restoring Land, Water, & Community Canopy
October 21, 2026
Please join us on October 21, at 10:30 am to learn about Renewing the Blue River presented by Scott Schulte, the founding President of the Heartland Conservation Alliance.
This collaborative initiative aims to restore up to 240 acres of riparian habitat, enhance green infrastructure along key segments of the Blue River, and expand the urban tree canopy in surrounding neighborhoods—ultimately building a healthier, more resilient watershed for Kansas City.
Through a combination of expert and community-led riparian restoration, native landscaping, wetland restoration, and the advancement of modern stormwater policies, the project improves water quality, reduces flood risk, and strengthens local capacity for green infrastructure planning and implementation.
Join us live in the Dreher Building or attend online
