Joe Whitworth, president of The Freshwater Trust in Portland, Oregon, will deliver the keynote address at the Iowa Environmental Council annual conference October 11 in Des Moines.

At The Freshwater Trust, Whitworth and his team focus on cooperative, market-based solutions that benefit rivers, working lands and local communities – from working with landowners to keep more water in our streams to creating more effective processes for improving aquatic habitat using a localized approach.
