Pat
Bowling, a hydrologist with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection, and Dr. Christopher Woltemade, professor of geography-earth science
at Shippensburg University, will be guests on the program.
Bowling
and Woltemade will be joined by Michael Christopher, manager of Washington
Township in Franklin County, at the Nov. 8 program the university will host on conserving water quality and quantity
in the region. The
free, public program begins at 6:30 p.m. in Memorial Auditorium with a
reception featuring displays by local watershed and advocacy groups. The discussion begins at 7 p.m.
The
program is the final lecture of the year in the South Mountain Speaker series.
It is sponsored by the Adams, Cumberland and Franklin county conservation
districts; Shippensburg University; the Department of Conservation and Natural
Resources; and the South Mountain Partnership.
This is
the third year for the South Mountain Speakers Series, envisioned as a revival
of the talks given by Joseph Rothrock in the late 19th century as part of his
work to preserve and restore Pennsylvania’s forests and natural landscape. The
series is anticipated to return in 2013.
Sparked
by DCNR’s Conservation Landscape Initiative, the South Mountain Partnership is
an effort to engage communities, local partners, state agencies and funding
opportunities to conserve high-quality natural and cultural resources while
enhancing the region’s economic viability.
