PUBLIC AFFECT
ON LOCAL WATERSHEDS
TOPIC OF FREE PROGRAM For Immediate Release: September 6, 1996
Residents can learn about what watersheds are and how everyday
activities can affect them at a free, interactive program to be held on
September 11 at the Agricultural History Farm Park, beginning at 7 p.m.
Entitled "Streams, Watersheds and Environmental Choices," the session
will include information on how to help protect sensitive watersheds, examples
of innovative watershed projects and stream monitoring programs, including the
successful Stream Teams project which is underway in County schools.
The program is designed to educate residents about the importance of
watersheds on the future quality of life, the consequences of stream and
watershed deterioration on the economy and the environment, and actions and
volunteer programs that help safeguard local watersheds.
The 50-minute program, conducted by Pamela Rowe, a watershed planner, is
the latest installment in the Department of Environmental Protection's
Environmental Connections lecture series.
The Agricultural History Farm Park is located at 18410 Muncaster Road.
To register and to receive directions, contact the Master Recycler/Composter
Program at 301-217-2818. For more information on the County's watershed
management programs, call 301-217-2044.
