Upcoming Meeting about Forest Management in the Anacostia


On Tuesday April 20 the Friends of Sligo Creek program meeting will focus on "The Anacostia Watershed Forest Management and Protection Strategy."

This report (http://www.mwcog.org/store/item.asp?PUBLICATION_ID=237) has advice for public officials watershed issues, including forest preservation, invasive plants, nuisance wildlife, and street trees. In light of Montgomery County's plans to eliminate the tree budget, this seems like a very timely topic.

The principle author of the Strategy, John Galli of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, talk about why it was made, what it says, and how it can be used by citizens.

Location: Long Branch Community Center, 8700 PineyBranch Road.

Come at 7:15 for chatting. Discussion starts at 7:30. Refreshments will be served.
