This event brings together researchers, policymakers, agency staff, and stakeholders to share knowledge and strengthen Illinois’ Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy.
You are encouraged to attend. The Illinois NLRS is a statewide, collaborative effort working to reduce the amount of nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, entering Illinois waterways. Learn more at go.illinois.edu/NLRS.
