Steward's Message
We Each Make a Difference
Sharon Anderson
Watershed Steward
The return of longer days and warmer temperature are especially
welcome after this year’s harsh winter. I take pleasure
in weeding the garden, noticing the lawn turn lush green and having
a car at last free from road salt. The choices we make in all
of these areas can be good — or bad — for water quality.
That’s why this Network News highlights simple, specific
steps you can take to protect our water. We have included both
actions you can do around your home and actions you can take with
others to maximize the effect.
Knowing how to most effectively take action takes knowledge.
Along with the articles on car washing, lawn care and other practices
in this issue, we have enlarged the library of information and
valuable links available on our website. I urge you to take advantage
of these resources, and the many educational events scheduled
for this spring. The Network connects you to all these opportunities
so you can pick the ways to protect our water quality that suit
you.
Finally, we pay tribute to Dave Morehouse this spring with a
new award in hope that his legacy will serve as inspiration for
how one person can make a difference. Your actions, in concert
with those of all the other Network members, will make a difference.
What will you choose to do this spring?
