A watershed event!
Participate in a Symposium and Community Exchange, “Can We Heal Our Local Waterways?” from 9 – 1:00 pm on February 11th, 2012 at the UNC Botanical Garden. Join us to hear about the current water quality problems and actions needed to restore our urban streams. We are including case studies from Chapel Hill and Carrboro. The event will be held in the Assembly Room of the North Carolina Botanical Garden.
Mary Sonis, a well-known amateur photographer and wildlife naturalist, takes us on a “Wildlife Along Bolin Creek – A Virtual Walk” at 11:30 am. Mary’s virtual wildlife tour will begin at 11:30 am. Her close up action shots of animals provide a breathtaking look at the natural world in the midst of our urban communities.
