Thursday, April 30, 2009 - University of Michigan-Dbn, Environmental Interpretive Center

Mr. Murray will include in his talk information about the seven rain gardens Dearborn has added to its DPW yard to slow polluted stormwater from entering the Rouge.
Pam Brady will pass on her years of expertise regarding our ability to reduse, reuse, and recycle. She will include information on Electronic Waste and those contacts available in this area.
