The public is invited to join the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays’ (Center) upcoming Citizens Advisory Committee–Citizens Café to learn about reforestation efforts taking root across the watershed from Meghan Noe Fellows, Center Director of Estuary Science and Restoration. Among its many benefits, reforestation reestablishes and grows coastal habitats that are rapidly disappearing, removes nutrient pollution from surface and groundwater that enters the Inland Bays, traps atmospheric carbon to help combat climate change, and increases the resiliency of Delaware’s natural resources and the communities who depend on them. Charlie Garlow, President of the Rehoboth Beach Sunrise Rotary Club, will be joining the conversation to highlight some of the Rotary’s community-based planting efforts.

The Citizens Café will take place on Thursday, February 15, 2024 from 6 – 8 PM. There are two options for attending this hybrid meeting—in person at the Center’s office (39375 Inlet Road, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971) or virtually (information below).
