In a first beyond the Chesapeake Bay, the Deep Creek Watershed Foundation has partnered with Garrett County to fund Water-Wise training by the University of Maryland Extension in a program exclusive to Garrett County.
Water-Wise is a conservation landscape certification program to help residents improve the quality and quantity of water runoff here in Garrett County. Thirteen people, 11 Master Gardeners and 2 Garden Club members, already have completed the three-day training necessary to manage the Water-Wise landscape certifications, and now are looking for properties whose owners are eager to participate in the program.
People wanting more information on this program can contact the University of Maryland Extension in Garrett County at 301-334-6960 or www.extension.umd.edu/garrett-county/water-wise.
