SUMMARY:CANCELED- City of Water Day: Water Chestnut Removal

City of Water Day features stewardship organizations that are raising awareness about the risk we all face from sea level rise and climate change\, and explores ways we can build the adaptive capacity of our ecosystems and communities. \nThis special event will focus on removing invasive water chestnuts from the pond\, a crucial effort in maintaining the health of our local water systems.
