Free stormwater webinar Aug. 13

The public is invited to attend a free stormwater webinar from 10 a.m. to noon, Thursday, Aug. 13.

Topics covered include stormwater emergency preparedness, algae control, and invasive species identification and control.

This event is presented by the Sussex Conservation District, University of Delaware Cooperative Extension, and the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control.

“We encourage communities and property owners to become informed so they can identify problems early, before they become costly to repair,” said Jessica Watson, sediment and stormwater program manager at the conservation district. 

“If you are new to Delaware, we want you to learn how your actions on private land, at home and in community open space affect water quality for all in Sussex County,” said Tracy Wootten, cooperative extension horticulture agent.

Registered attendees will receive the webinar link one day prior to the event.

Delaware nutrient management and pesticide applicator credits are pending.
