Southeast New England Program Network
About the Network
The Southeast New England Program (SNEP) Network, created in 2019, consists of 16 different partner organizations with expertise in stormwater and watershed planning, management, and financing, with a focus on leadership development and climate resiliency. The Network's mission is to empower communities within the region to achieve healthy watersheds, sustainable financing, and long-term climate resilience through management of stormwater and restoration projects.
What We Do
