The CDWI (Clean Drinking Water Initiative) will present three evening sessions on why and how to protect our local drinking water sources. Each session is a self-contained unit and participants may attend one, two or all three.  

The first lecture, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Boothbay, titled Watershed 101, will be led by Rebecca Jacobs of Knox-Lincoln County Soil and Water Conservation District. This forum will provide a basic understanding of how watersheds work and why human activities within watersheds are critical to protecting water quality. Although our emphasis is on Adams Pond and Knickerbocker Lake, this session is relevant to all. We all live in a watershed! This event will be held at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens’ Bosarge Education Center.
