SUMMARY:September First Saturday Seminar

CFRW Board Member Roger Shew will discuss issues that are currently facing the Lower Cape Fear River including development and natural area losses\, port deepening\, flooding\, water quality\, and more in our rapidly growing area. From forest to sea\, Roger will also highlight the beauty and value of these natural areas and resources\, and how you can help advocate for their protection and smart use. \nClick here to receive reminders about the seminar\, and be sure to join us before the presentation for a free coffee and pancake breakfast (and a chance to meet our fall interns!).
