Howard County Group

The Howard County Group is part of the Maryland Chapter of the Sierra Club, a national environmental organization. Leave No Trace - Help your kids respect the web of life Saturday Jan. 9 at 10 AM. This is not a Sierra Club event, but you may want to take your kids to this talk at the Howard County Conservancy. Join Barbara Ball, Outreach Specialist at REI, in an interactive program using the PEAK program (Promoting Environmental Awareness in Kids). Participants will create a web to see how all things in Nature are connected, and then explore trash – and the role of the community and individuals in finding solutions. The 7 principals of Leave No Trace will enable all to become better stewards of our natural places. The presentation is both informative and fun. Families are welcome. Free. The Conservancy is located on Old Frederick Road (Route 99) between Bethany Lane and Woodstock Road. Call 410-465-8877 or visit www.hcconservancy.org for further information.
