Clean Above Means Clean Below at Valley Cottage Library

  • Thursday, March 12, 2026, 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

Clean Above Means Clean Below


Clean Above Means Clean Below will be presented by Jen Zunino-Smith, CCE Environmental Compliance Educator and Manager of the Stormwater Consortium of Rockland County.

Excess nutrients from fertilizer, sediment, and grass or leaf clippings add phosphorus to our waterways, fueling algae growth and harmful algal blooms. Jen will share where blooms have been confirmed, how everyday lawn and fertilizer practices affect surface water, and practical steps we can take to reduce our impact.

Because water treatment cannot remove every pollutant, what enters our local waters ultimately influences what comes out of our taps.

Registration is required.
