A big THANK YOU to all our supporters. Your donations in 2018 increased by 40 percent! Your hard-earned money has allowed us to: print English-language brochures and *new* for 2018, Spanish-language brochures; pay for water quality testing supplies; pay for room rentals for our presentations; maintain our kiosks along Sligo Creek; and most critically this past year, developing our new website, to launch later this year. We couldn't do this and more without your help. - Posted Mar 5

Protect Sligo Creek From Excess Road Salt
With predictions of our first significant snowfall this winter, something you can do to help protect Sligo and neighboring MD waterways is call 311 if you see piles of salt and/or sand on roads left by county trucks. The county is supposed to respond quickly to remove the piles. If that doesn’t work, call your county council member. It’s a simple step that can be very helpful to keep damaging piles of salt and sand from washing into our streams.- Posted Jan 11
