Into the Watershed: A Field Experience
Monday, July 13, 2026 | Half-Day Experience
Hosted by Will Sarni, Practice Lead for Water & Nature at Earth Finance and global water guru, this invitation-only field experience offers an on-the-ground exploration of the Cedar River Watershed — the primary drinking water source for the Seattle region.
Led by local, indigenous guides and local partners, regional sustainability leaders will engage with the watershed as a living system, exploring its ecological, spiritual, and social dynamics, governance structures, infrastructure interdependencies, and the practical realities of long-term stewardship.
Designed for a small cohort of up to 24 senior leaders across corporate, finance, policy, and nonprofit sectors engaged in sustainability and water strategy, the immersive experience offers a rare opportunity to deepen understanding of the systems that shape climate and corporate decision-making.
The field experience will include group transportation from Seattle, a guided watershed exploration, an outdoor lunch, and a facilitated reflection before returning to the city.
