The forum will take place on Wednesday, September 28 from 6:00 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Eastern Shore Conservation Center, 114 N. Washington Street in Easton.
The event will focus on the environmental health of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, including climate adaptation and resilience; Chesapeake Bay restoration; and land use management and growth.
Howard Freedlander of the Talbot Spy will moderate. Questions will be asked by the moderator, who will also take questions from the audience via notecards.
This event is free and open to the public. Voters in Talbot County are encouraged to attend and learn more about the County Council candidates and their positions on local environmental issues.
