What is green infrastructure? Aleen Starkweather will lead a program about open space, animal passageways and biodiversity corridors, and will explain some of the concepts of green infrastructure.
Aleen's active affiliations include the Greater Sandy Spring Green Space, MAGIC (Maryland Alliance for Greenway Improvement and Conservation), the Land Use Committee of the League of Women Voters of Montgomery County (which she chairs), and the Citizen's Advisory Committee for Legacy Open Space, an innovative program in Montgomery County.
PRESERVING OPEN SPACE is a subject dear to Aleen's heart. The program will start on the treehouse platform at 11am on Saturday, May 17, 2003.
In case of rain, meet at the Niles Cabin. Bring a brown bag lunch, water, and maybe even hiking boots!
NOTE: Full moon is on Thursday, May 15, so camping on Friday the 16th should be wonderful, with a moonrise about an hour after sunset. Or better yet, come out for a long weekend, on the 15th, and watch that evening's total lunar eclipse! (Beginning at 9:02 pm; darkest at 10:40 pm.)
A modest donation is suggested for this program.
This event is for: Anyone interested in preserving wilderness or open space -- for your soul, for your body, for your family and friends on earth and yet unborn, for total strangers,should come to this FWMC event.
