Winter Lecture Series - Toxic Sewage Sludge from MD to VA

Join us for a series of informative lectures on the first Wednesday of each month from December through March. The lectures will be held indoors at the Bull Run Mountains Conservancy's headquarters, just a few minutes' drive away from Leopold's Preserve. Each lecture will feature a special guest speaker who will discuss a topic relating to the natural world. Light refreshments will be provided.

January 7: "Toxic sewage sludge from Maryland coming to a VA farm near you!" presented by Dean Naujoks, the Potomac Riverkeeper. Is sewage sludge laced with ‘forever chemicals’ contaminating our farms? In this lecture, Dean will share information about PFAS found in sewage sludge that is being applied to Virginia farmlands. Learn about this emerging issue, see what the Potomac Riverkeeper Network has done to address it, and explore ways that you can take action to protect clean water.
