2019 Environmental Conference — March 10

 

from their web site:

Mark your calendar for the Association of Bainbridge Communities’ (ABC) annual Environmental Conference on Sunday, March 10 at IslandWood from 12:30-5:00pm. This year’s topic is Wells to Whales: Protecting our Waters.
Do you know your “ecological address?” Do you know where your water is sourced and where it goes? What’s an aquifer anyway? When it rains, where does the stormwater go in your neighborhood? And why does all this matter?

The conference will explore issues of sustainability of water quality and quantity, and examine the science, impact and infrastructure in local and global systems. Resident experts will lead breakout groups so you can choose to deep dive on topics that interest you most.

You’ll come away with a deeper understanding of your ecological address and with more tools and resources on how to manage, strengthen and steward your own unique part of the Puget Sound puzzle.

There will also be several relevant field trips on the previous day, Saturday 3/9.

Registration and other inAssociation of Bainbridge Communities (ABC) Environmental Conferenceformation is on the IslandWood web site.
