| Watershed planning in the Catfish Creek watershed in Henderson and Anderson counties will be | discussed. |
The goal of the summit is to work with landowners and other stakeholders to prioritize watersheds for future planning efforts and to develop monitoring strategies in those watersheds. Cattle producers are key to solving water resource challenges in the Trinity River Basin, so cattle production will be the major focus of the summit. Summit organizers want to receive feedback from the audience about what their concerns are with this process and/or natural resource issues in the selected watersheds.
Key speakers for this event include Bob McCan, President of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, and Todd Staples, Texas Agriculture Commissioner.
