The September 13th program will be at the Downtown Grind café on Main Street in Elmira. The featured speaker will be Trevor Browning, Assistant Professor of Environmental Science at Elmira College. The topic for this event will be “From your lawn to the Chemung River to the Chesapeake Bay: What goes on the ground ends up in the rivers and ocean.”
