Healthy rivers and wetlands are essential to the wildlife, communities, and coastal ecosystems of the greater Winyah Bay watershed. Join Winyah River Alliance's Pee Dee-Lynches Riverkeeper for a discussion of the work being done to protect these waterways. Participants will learn how Riverkeepers monitor water quality, investigate concerns, engage local communities, and respond to emerging threats. The program will also explore the connections among our region’s rivers and the everyday actions people can take to help protect them.
