ENERWA is pleased to join Cecil County Department of Public Works Stormwater Management Division for the 14th Annual Wade In! Continuing the tradition of the late Maryland State Senator Bernie Fowler, attendees will wade into the North East River to measure the depth when they can no longer see their shoes…….the sneaker index in 2022 was 29.5 inches – we’ll see what 2023 brings us!
Join ENERWA on May 16, 2023 from 6–8pm at the Hances Point Yacht Club (39 Weaver Rd, North East, MD 21901). Special guests and presenters are Sean McCandless “Backyard Birds: Understanding What They Need” and Mayor Michael Kline “North East Preserve“. There will be Hors d’oeuvres and a Cash Bar.
This Project Clean Stream project was sponsored by the Town of North East and ENERWA (Elk and North East Rivers Watershed Association).
