Volunteers are need to mark the storm drains in Laurel on June 13, 2009, and will meet at the Town Hall at 10AM. There will be a short instructional period then groups will be formed to canvas the town and mark the drains.

The Marker will be a Medallion inscribed with, "No Dumping, Drain into Waterway" Laurel sits on the Broad Creek which drains into the Nanticoke River and then into the Chesapeake Bay.

A Great Honor

I have talked about the Nanticoke River Creek Watchers before, now a quick update. I am one of the volunteers who with Ric Johansen test two sites every two weeks. We are now 40 people monitoring 43 sites. Our season ran from April to December.
The program has been so successful the the sponsoring organization, the Nanticoke Watershed Alliance, decided to give the Creek Watchers a seat on the Board of directors.
I was selected with Dick Work as a alternate.

It is a great honor for me!
