2025 Stormwater Seminar Series Kicks Off Aug. 7
Georgetown, Del., – The Sussex Conservation District (SCD), in partnership with the University of Delaware Cooperative Extension (UDCE), is pleased to announce the return of its stormwater seminar series, designed to promote clean water through effective stormwater management and best management practices (BMPs). The three-part series will be held at the Carvel Research and Education Center in Georgetown from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on select Thursdays.
The seminars provide valuable guidance for homeowners, homeowner associations and industry professionals seeking to improve water quality and protect local waterways.
