May 11th Chapter Meeting with Guest Speaker Bill Kibler

Come to our chapter meeting at 7:30 on Thursday, May 11th at the American Legion Hall in Whippany and meet Bill Kibler.

Bill is the Director of Policy for the Raritan Headwaters Association.  RHA protects, preserves, and improves water quality and other natural resources of the Raritan River headwaters region through science, education, advocacy, land preservation and stewardship. He served as the Executive Director of the South Branch Watershed Association from 2005 until RHA was created in 2011.  Bill has a BS in environmental science from the United States Military Academy, West Point, and served as a Corps of Engineers officer in the Persian Gulf War. After graduating from the Syracuse University College of Law, Bill specialized in environmental, land use, and international law. Bill serves on the campaign committee for Keep It Green, the board of trustees of the New Jersey Highlands Coalition, and the steering committee for the Sustainable Raritan River Collaborative.  He lives on the South Branch of the Raritan River in Califon with his wife, Susan, and their son, Alex.  He is an avid (and remarkably mediocre) fly fisherman and is a past chief of the Califon Fire Company.

Bill will give an intro to the Raritan Headwaters Association, talk about what they're up to, and then give you all an update on dam removals in the Raritan Basin.
