Schoharie Watershed Week

On Watershed Wednesday this week, the masterminds behind Schoharie Watershed Month join me in the studio to talk up the 2011 activities and events scheduled throughout May in the Schoharie Watershed basin. Robyn Worcester, Michelle Yost and Mikana Maeda from Greene County Soil & Water Conservation District will cover the bases with me: from rain barrel construction workshops to the 2nd Annual Environmental Film Series. We'll detail what's on the slate for you to partake in, most times for FREE, in celebration of everything water.

You can post your questions on our Facebook Page or below in the Comments section. Tell us -- do you plan on attending one of the events below? Either way, be sure to join us at 1 p.m. on WIOX.
