Join us for a thoughtful and grounded conversation on water stewardship across Pennsylvania’s textile value chain. In this webinar, Sanyukta Singh shares insights from her in-depth research, developed in collaboration with PA Fibershed and informed by the knowledge of its member community.
Together, we’ll explore our fibershed’s unique landscape through a distinctly Pennsylvania lens, examining how water moves through every stage of fabric production, from fiber farming to wool scouring, textile dyeing, and wastewater output.
Date: June 17th
Time: 12-1 PM ET
Location: Virtual (Zoom link provided upon registration)
During this webinar, Sanyukta will take you through the handbook and its practical, actionable strategies that can be implemented today by farmers, textile mills, and dye houses alike, along with realistic perspectives on investment and payoff timelines.
Rooted in both research and lived experience, this webinar supports informed decision-making that strengthens resilience and responsible land stewardship across our regional textile system.
We are deeply grateful for Sanyukta’s work and excited to share this resource with our community. Her stewardship reflects the critical role students play in shaping the future of our field.
The Water Stewardship Handbook is now available as a resource for PA Fibershed members in our Member hub, and this session offers a special opportunity to engage directly with its author. We invite you to ask questions, explore applications, and consider how these insights can support your work.
