HEADWATERS RESTORATION
We are pleased to announce the beginning of a major restoration program for the headwaters of the Severn. Given that most life in the river is spawned and nurtured in the headwaters, this is the most critical area to protect. The opportunity for survival of the restored oyster reefs will be significantly improved by stopping the pollution at the headwaters. The stormwater runoff from I97 and Route 32 have been polluting this area for years, and it will only get worse with global warming. Note that we just received the most rain in any July on record, and these 15 inches in one month could become the norm. We have completed the engineering work for the first phase, and the construction funds have been promised. However, we need your support for operating expenses. Please help us restore the Severn. If not now, when?
