The League of Women Voters Charleston Area is pleased to offer this educational program about our local environment, comprised of both an online discussion and an on-site field trip! Attendance is free and open to LWV members and the general public. Full details on both events can be found here.

Part 1: Thursday, July 13 on Zoom 6:30-7:30 pm: Join restoration ecologist and environmental educator Rebecca Fanning virtually as she introduces us to Long Branch Creek in West Ashley and explains how past decisions have affected this natural ecosystem, and what could (or should) be done to restore ecological balance. Long Branch Creek is tucked between the suburban neighborhoods of West Ashley. The solutions that guest speaker Rebecca Fanning will describe could be applied to individual lots, or as watershed-wide initiatives that could be replicated almost anywhere in the state! Attendance at this virtual presentation is recommended but not required for attending the field trip on Saturday, July 15.
