workshop will outline the soil
conservation district approach to
the clean Bay initiative.
Workshops are arranged so that
participants can attendd at least
two of the four.

control non-point source water
pollution problems.

agricultural and forestry best
management practices needed to
clean up the Bay. The other will
highlight shore-line stabilization
by vegetative means. In the af
ternoon, participants will tour the
Wye Research Center to learn
about on-going water quality
research.
