This WRRC Special Event will be held on the University of Arizona campus in Tucson, Arizona, and will be delivered as a hybrid event. There will be both in-person registration (limited) and online registration (unlimited).

Location Details are as follows:
WRRC Sol Resnick Conference Rm. 350 N. Campbell Ave, Tucson AZ.
As the seven states of the century-old Colorado River Compact renegotiate the river’s management guidelines, which expire in 2026, Living River takes readers on a journey through the endangered Colorado River from source to sea, and illustrates how we can create a resilient watershed by changing our relationship with water.
Featuring stunning photography and powerful essays, Living River captures breathtaking landscapes rich with wildlife, from the upper Colorado’s tributary Fraser River to the southwestern Gila and San Pedro Rivers. Along the way, Showalter weaves in the stories of riverkeepers who work tirelessly to protect and preserve the river and its surrounding communities.
Living River is published by Braided River, the conservation imprint of Mountaineers Books. Don't miss your chance to hear from one of the most talented and passionate voices in conservation photography today.
