Continuing to promote and celebrate National Lake Appreciation Month, Friends of Deep Creek lake is hosting a forum on DCL Watershed Planning, designed to provide share with lake stakeholders, our guests and residents of Garrett County current work of many protecting and restoration the watershed.
These are the real experts and our inspiration!
John Major, a student from Northern High School will share efforts of many working on Cove Run restoration project.
The Soil Conservation District is developing best management practices, which will be explained by Board member James Smokey Stanton.
Charles Hoffeditz Chair of the Forestry Board will explain about their efforts for planning and forest protections.
Barbara Beelar will cover the challenges of runoff in the watershed, sharing the field work FODC has done on County and State highway culverts.
Eric Robison, head of Citizen Shale will provide an update on Marcellus shale exploration and studies with comments on what more needs to be done.
FoDCL claims attendance at this forum may be the most important thing a lake stakeholder, tourist or county citizen can do this summer, given the huge importance of the lake in the local economy.
