Anne Arundel Youth Environmental Summit

Home » News » Anne Arundel Youth Environmental Summit
January 29, 2023

Spa Creek Conservancy is excited to announced the first Anne Arundel Youth Environmental Summit. It will be held on February 11 from 11am-3pm at Anne Arundel Community College. High School students are welcome to attend this free summit and hear from four different speaker panels: Environmental Careers, Volunteer Opportunities, Student-Led Initiatives and Environmental Innovators.

The key note speaker is Gerardo Martinez, owner of Wild Kid Acres, a small farm located on the banks of the South River in Edgewater. The Farm is located on the water where historically, agriculture is at odds with aquaculture. Hear about how Wild Kid Acres not only involves their land but everything outside their fence, especially the water.

A free box lunch will be available for all students.
