Due to escalating concerns relating to the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, we are cancelling the remaining Watershed Moments Community Learning Series event for this semester out of an abundance of caution for our visitors and the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science community.
Watershed Moments Community Learning Series
Learning lasts a lifetime.
As part of its commitment to public education, the Appalachian Laboratory of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Sciences (UMCES-AL) offers free community presentations and events through its Watershed Moments Community Learning Series. All events are free, open to the public, and held at the Appalachian Laboratory in Frostburg, Maryland, or at other nearby venues.
