CONGAREE RIVERKEEPER PRESENTATION
Thursday, October 1, 6:30 p.m.
Bill Stangler, the Executive Director and your Congaree Riverkeeper since 2011, will be with us on Thursday, October 1, at 6:30 p.m. to provide information and answer your questions about the Congaree Riverkeeper.
Congaree Riverkeeper is a local nonprofit organization with the mission to protect and improve water quality, wildlife habitat, and recreation on the Congaree, Lower Saluda, and Broad Rivers through advocacy, education, and enforcement of environmental laws. Formed in 2008 following major sewer spills in the Lower Saluda River, Congaree Riverkeeper effectively monitors water quality conditions in our waterways, holds polluters accountable, and educates the public and lawmakers about the importance of keeping our waterways clean and healthy.
We hope you will join us for this informative presentation on a topic important to us all!
