Earth-Day Weekend is almost here -- can you join us?

Mid-April greetings from TRC! We're sending a second newsletter out this month to highlight the upcoming weekend's events and to encourage everyone to invite friends and family to join the festivities (details below). Let's make this Earth Day Celebration productive and joyful!

We also want to thank everyone who participated in the recent "Welcome to Spring" event. It was a great success -- in collaboration with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, we planted more than 1300 trees!
