The innovative annual ENVIRONMENTAL TOWN HALL returns for its 17th year on Saturday, November 12th from 1-3, at Felton Community Hall. Featuring our State Assembly Member (and former 5th District Supervisor), Mark Stone, this community event focuses on environmental issues, legislation and regulation at the State level that directly affect our lives, homes, businesses and cherished environs. The Environmental Town Hall is produced annually by the Valley Women’s Club’s Environmental Committee. It also features timely displays and information from vital regional environmental organizations and Santa Cruz County Agencies.
After a presentation by Assembly Member Stone – with a special emphasis on groundwater, drought response and other water issues – audience members are invited to participate in a Q&A on topics of their choice.
The special information-exhibits include the County’s Mosquito and Vector Control – did you know mosquitos can breed by entering septic tanks via their vents? The Environmental Committee for the SLV will feature the children’s Art Contest on air quality, NOAA’s new efforts to protect endangered fish populations, controversial local development projects, progress on the Monterey Bay Community Power effort, and the Restoration Project (with AmeriCorps). The Coastal Watershed Council will provide information on the San Lorenzo River Alliance, and exciting volunteer testing programs like “First Flush.” The Resource Conservation District will be there with information on funding and permitting support for restoration of rural roads, erosion control projects and riparian restoration projects.
The program is free and suitable for all ages. Refreshments will be served. For information call Nancy at 831/345-1555.
