As this sweltering season draws to a close, a group of local environmentalists are encouraging Prairie Villagers to turn their attention to a resource that’s the natural antidote to a long, hot summer day in Kansas: water.
This year’s annual community environmental forum, to be held at Village Presbyterian Church on Thursday, October 7, will explore the theme, “Quantity and quality: Critical water issues in Kansas.” A panel of experts, including John Mitchell, Director of Environment at Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE); Laura Calwell, Friends of the Kaw (FOK); and Dave Murphy, Kansas Natural Resource Council (KNRC), will discuss recreation use of Kansas waterways, our drinking water quality, and how to reduce water contamination.
The event will start with appetizers and a dinner of locally-grown seasonal ingredients from Blue Bird Bistro at 5:30 p.m. with the program starting at 7 p.m. Reservations are required by October 1 to guarantee a spot at the event, and tickets cost $20 per person.
