| PLANT A RAINGARDEN

Saturday, May 24
9:00am - Noon
Riva Trace Baptist Church
475 W Central Ave
Davidsonville, MD
Help us plant a beautiful rain garden on the grounds of the Riva Trace Church that will reduce the amount of stormwater runoff into Beard's Creek and South River.
This project is part of the Federation's Targeted Watershed Initiative made possible with support from the Chesapeake Bay Trust.
We will provide gloves and tools, but if you have a favorite pair of gloves, bring them along.
Remember sun screen and hats.
To prevent adding more plastic bottles to the environment, we will provide a large water cooler with water, so please bring a Nalgene or similar bottle to re-fill!

| RIVERWATCHER INFORMATION MEETING
|
Wednesday, May 28
7:00 - 9:00pm
Chesapeake Bay Foundation's Philip Merril Center
6 Herdon Ave.
Annapolis, MD 21403
The South River Federation is
looking for supporters who can volunteer a few hours a month to help improve the
health of the River.
As a South
Riverwatcher
you can help expand our "eyes and ears" network by reporting threats to our
creeks and river, such as illegal dumping, Critical Area violations, muddy water
flowing into our creeks or going down storm drains. As a South
Riverwatcher, you can help us organize volunteer work-days, or
more regularly monitor water quality at a creek near you.
You don't need to live along the
water to join our team. The only pre-requisite is a commitment to a healthy and
restored South River.
Join us for an informational
meeting to learn how you can help make a bigger difference for the
South
River.
