Plus, the biggest threat to our waters today is polluted runoff water that runs off our roofs and into our streets and alleys, carrying all the oil, sediment and other contaminants that it picks up along the way into our lakes, rivers and streams.The Eastern Rhode Island Conservation District (ERICD) is a non-profit, quasi-public organization that functions as a facilitator for meeting the needs of the local land user in the conservation of soil, water and other related natural resources.The make-up Rain-Date for this workshop is Sunday, April 27th. You will be notified via the email that you sign up with whether the workshop is postponed due to the weather!Please contact Ally Cuomo at acuomo.ericd@gmail.com with any questions or concerns.
