The Carroll County Board of Commissioners and the Carroll County Department of Land and Resource Management will be hosting the county’s first Environmental Symposium.
The event will be held Saturday, Nov. 12 from 9 a.m. to noon at Carroll Community College, Room K-100, 1601 Washington Road in Westminster.
The event will feature a meet and greet showcasing Carroll County community groups focused on environmental stewardship. This event is free and open to the public to meet
and talk with citizen groups who care about our county and the environment. Attendees will learn more about these environmental groups and how to promote and implement practices to sustain the county’s natural resources.
The symposium will also feature a youth recycled art contest, open to high school students who live in Carroll County. This artwork will be showcased at the symposium and attendees will have the opportunity to admire the art and vote for a favorite.
