PROGRAM: Where Water Flows: Simple Solutions for a Healthier Bay

Today's program, Where Water Flows: Simple Solutions for a Healthier Bay, was presented by Denise Frey, Master Watershed Steward. Denise guided us through the path water takes from our gardens and neighborhoods to local streams, rivers, and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay. She explained how stormwater runoff can carry nutrients, fertilizers, and pollutants into waterways, and highlighted practical steps we can take to make a difference — from planting native species and creating healthy soils to reducing runoff with conservation landscaping. Denise’s presentation was both eye-opening and encouraging, reminding us that small changes at home can add up to a cleaner, healthier Bay for everyone.
