ShoreRivers has expanded its jurisdiction to include Tolchester and the four creeks in Kent County that drain directly into the Bay: Still Pond, Churn, Worton, and Fairlee. The Sassafras Riverkeeper, Zack Kelleher, will oversee the organization of water quality monitoring, outreach, and restoration programs for this combined area.
“This area has never before been represented by a watershed group and I am excited to be the voice of this area and these creeks. I look forward to working with the local communities to determine and address any water quality issues,” said Kelleher.
Riverkeeper Kelleher is inviting all community members who live, work, or play in this area to a public Town Hall Meeting on August 14 at the Chestertown Library from 6:00 to 7:00 pm. The meeting will be held in the yellow building in the library parking lot at 207 Calvert Street in Chestertown.
The meeting is free and open to the public. Please RSVP to krighi@shorerivers.org.
