Tom Horton will give a talk at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 18 at the Garfield Center for the Arts.
Tom Horton, one of the Chesapeake Bay’s foremost advocates and authorities, will present a wide-ranging talk on “lessons learned” during a special appearance in Chestertown on the 40th anniversary of the Clean Water Act.
Horton has covered the Bay and the environment for The Baltimore Sun and other publications since 1972, the same year that the Clean Water Act was reauthorized in what he calls “a modern, post-Earth Day” way.
Among other talking points, Horton will highlight the progress that has been made with Bay restoration as well as examine some of the disappointments. He will also issue a clarion call for a broader, more ambitious agenda for environmentalism – one that includes a deep and diverse base of support.
Horton, who has written several books about the Bay, worked for 30 years at The Baltimore Sun. Today, he serves as a professor at Salisbury University in its new environmental studies department. He is also a writer for the Chesapeake Bay Journal.
The talk, free and open to the public, will take place at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 18 at the Garfield Center for the Arts. It is being co-sponsored by Chester River Association and Washington College’s Center for Environment & Society. Please call the river association at 410-810-7556 for more information.
