Thursday, August 6, 2026
from 9 am to 1 pm
When Waters Rise is presented by The Wild Center in collaboration with regional partners, including Adirondack Climate Outreach and Resilience Network (ACORN), Adirondack Experience, Adirondack Council, Adirondack Watershed Institute, Ausable Freshwater Center, Brookfield Renewables, Cornell University, The Nature Conservancy, Paul Smith's College, and SUNY ESF.
Through real-world examples, art, and local voices, we’ll examine how communities are adapting through engaging panel discussions and breakout sessions. Attendees will be able to continue the conversation with optional afternoon field trips to regional sites. Whether you work in science, government, emergency management, or simply care about your community, this event will connect you with the knowledge, tools, and people shaping the future of flood resilience in the Adirondacks.
The Adirondacks are defined by water - rushing rivers, quiet wetlands, mountain streams, and deep winter snowpack. But when that water moves faster, higher, and more unpredictably, it reshapes communities, landscapes, and lives. This summer, join scientists, artists, community leaders, emergency responders, and residents from across the Adirondack region for a half-day conference highlighting one of the region’s most pressing challenges – flooding. Together, we’ll explore what makes the Adirondacks vulnerable to powerful flood events, how communities have responded and adapted to flood damage, and how we can be better prepared for rising waters.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Local residents, community leaders, conservation organizations, educators, outdoor recreationists, researchers, students, and anyone invested in the future of the Adirondacks.

When Waters Rise: Adirondack Flooding Risk, Response, and Resilience
8 am: Check-in Opens
- Registered attendees check-in and receive their name badge
- New attendees are invited to register if tickets remain
9 am: Event begins in Flammer Theater with a welcome from The Wild Center and Adirondack Climate Outreach & Resilience Network (ACORN)
9:15 am: Adirondack Waters with Dr. Curt Stager
9:40 am to 10:30 am: Breakout Sessions
- Breakout 1: Culverts with Josh Lafountain, The Nature Conservancy
About: Road-stream crossings—like culverts and bridges—play a critical role in how water, fish, wildlife, and communities stay connected. When crossings are undersized or poorly designed, they can restrict stream flow, block fish passage, fragment habitat, and increase the risk of road damage or failure during storms. These impacts are widespread and growing as storm intensity increases.
Well-designed crossings, based on stream simulation or similar approaches, work with natural processes rather than against them. They allow water to move more freely during high flows, reducing the likelihood of washouts and improving overall flood resilience for nearby communities. At the same time, they maintain natural stream conditions—supporting fish movement, reconnecting habitat, and allowing wildlife to safely pass along and across stream corridors. This approach recognizes that infrastructure can serve multiple purposes: improving public safety, maintaining transportation networks, and supporting healthy ecosystems. While traditional designs may focus on short-term fixes, resilient crossings are built to function over the long term under changing climate conditions.
In this session, we’ll explore how crossings influence both flood risk and ecological connectivity, why these issues are closely linked, and what better design looks like in practice. We’ll also walk through the long-term economic case for investing in resilient infrastructure and demonstrate how these concepts play out using a hands-on stream table model. - Breakout 2: Navigate the deluge: Plan, Protect, Prevail! with Dr. Danielle Eisman, Cornell University
About: Floods can have unpredictable consequences. Navigate the Deluge: Plan, Protect, Prevail! offers a gamified approach to assist communities in comprehending the effects of flooding and preparing for future events. By exploring the WHAT, WHO, and HOW, teams will identify both the strengths and weaknesses in their community's flood response strategies.You'll leave this session equipped with valuable resources to aid in developing effective risk mitigation strategies for your community.
Workshop Activities: Collaborate in teams to address flooding challenges in your area, Identify gaps in your existing flood mitigation and response plans, Generate innovative ideas to enhance community resilience. - Breakout 3: Shoreline Health Assessment at Greenleaf Pond with Annie Arnold, Adirondack Watershed Institute
- Breakout 4: Ausable Freshwater Center with Gary Henry- Director Stream Restoration, Kelley Tucker- Executive Director, and Marque Moffet- Stewardship Manager

11:30 am to 12:15 pm: Community Flooding: Risk, Response and Resilience moderated by Sunita Halaz, Adirondack Council
About: Flooding impacts every Adirondack community differently, but resilience begins with understanding local risks and learning from lived experience. In this panel, community leaders and watershed experts will share firsthand perspectives on flood preparedness, emergency response, recovery, and long-term adaptation. Through stories from the field and practical examples, panelists will explore how communities can work together to reduce vulnerability, strengthen local capacity, and build resilience in the face of increasingly frequent and intense flood events. Attendees will gain insights into the challenges and opportunities of preparing Adirondack communities for a changing future.
Panelists:
- Colin Powers, Boquet River Association Executive Director

12:20 pm to 1 pm: KEYNOTE with Q&A
Rivers and Resilience: Our Shared Future with Tim Koch, Stream Restoration Specialist, NYSDEC / NYS Water Resources Institute
About: The best foundation for solving any problem is to understand the root cause. To that end, the flow of this talk will start with foundational concepts from the fields of river science and fluvial geomorphology. We will answer the question, “why do rivers flood?” We will compare the function of a stream channel to that of a floodplain. We will come to understand and appreciate why a stream channel is the size that it is, and why it is not, and should not be large enough to contain large floods within its banks. With insight into why rivers flood, we can advance to topics of climate change and resilience to look for adaptation strategies that work with rivers rather than continue to fight against them.
Regional streamflow data will be presented that illustrate the history of climate change over recent decades and extend those trends into the future. We will discuss effective approaches to stream and floodplain management that rely less on human hubris and more on self-sustaining natural features. These strategies will be placed into an overarching framework of resilience and adaptation that shapes how New York State is advancing into an uncertain future.
1 pm: Closing Remarks
Afternoon Programming (optional):
- Get your hands wet participating in a shoreline health assessment at Greenleaf Pond led by Annie Arnold of the Adirondack Watershed Institute

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
KEYNOTE: Tim Koch
Stream Restoration Specialist
NYSDEC / NYS Water Resources Institute
Tim Koch grew up in small-town Central New York and spent many of his childhood weekends hiking and camping in the Adirondacks. His dad was a freelance nature photographer in a time before point-and-click digital photography, so Tim spent a lot of time idling near mountain streams while his dad adjusted the camera aperture and shutter speed. In those quiet, wild moments, Tim’s love of free-flowing streams emerged. As a small spring grows into a mighty river over the course of miles, Tim’s childhood fascination with streams grew over the decades, not only into a career in river conservation and restoration, but into a soulful passion for all things streams.
Tim received a Master of Science degree from SUNY-ESF in Watershed Hydrology and spent 10 years working with rivers in the Catskill Mountains where he received extensive training in applied fluvial geomorphology and developed novel technical education programs on stream science, management, and restoration. As the Stream Restoration Specialist with the NYS Water Resources Institute,Tim is embedded within the NYS DEC and works across regional and bureaucratic boundaries to advance stream restoration, dam removal, and flood resilience projects across the State.”
