The Garden Club of the Eastern Shore announces a talk “Practical Approaches to Run-Off”, free and open to the public, at 11:00 AM, Wednesday, November 12, theOxford Community Center to be delivered by Alan Girard of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. His talk will be followed by an optional visit and introduction to two projects in Oxford, one old and one new.
Mr. Girard who heads the CBF Easton office will describe solutions to slowing run- off from roofs, roads and our multi-use landscape so that chemicals toxic to our Bay and greater watershed can be slowed and remediated with all of our help. As a recent Oxford initiative and another partnership project with which CBF is involved will show, homeowners and businesses, farmers and community infrastructure can together put in place practical solutions to our problem. Mr. Girard will also introduce the Talbot Roadside Ditch project, a new and growing effort shared with multiple non-profits and civic agencies in our county, including CBF, the Nature Conservancy, Environmental Concern, the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays Trust Fund.
Seats will be limited and unreserved.
