Baffling Baffle Boxes!
Marine Resources Council FacebookOur special guest, Dani Straub, will be giving a tour of the Sherwood Park Stormwater Project to give us an awesome look into how runoff pollution can be filtered through rain gardens, retention ponds, and baffle boxes before draining into the Indian River Lagoon. This is the 50th project of the Save Our Indian River Lagoon (SOIRL) restoration program. Join us for an eye-opening event to get a closer look at how the City along with other partners are working to reduce litter and chemicals from entering our waterways.
This 60-minute virtual field trip is geared toward youth grades 4th and up, but is open to all ages. Participants will have the chance to ask questions through the Q&A box that will be answered toward the end of the presentation. Participants are also encouraged to email questions to the MRC’s Programs Coordinator, Bri Forte, at [Field Trip|bri@mrcirl.org] by December 15.
Please register here for the free event and the Zoom link and login information will be in your confirmation email. The field trip presentation will be streamed live and available to watch through the MRC’s Facebook page. If you are experiencing technical difficulties or need to leave early, the program will be recorded and posted to the MRC’s YouTube channel a few days after the event.
