This Tuesday evening, May 2, in the Cylburn Mansion at the Cylburn 
Arboretum in northern Baltimore City, Gene Scarpulla will speak on 
"Hart-Miller Island South Cell Restoration: transforming dredged 
material into wildlife habitat"

Hart-Miller Island was created from the placement of material 
dredged from the Chesapeake Bay. The South Cell of the island 
stopped receiving dredged material in 1990. A $6 million 
environmental restoration has transformed the South Cell into 
wetland and upland habitat that has attracted several of 
Maryland's rarer breeding birds. Come hear about this restoration 
and the successes that have resulted.

All who are interested are welcome. The mansion doors open at 7:15 
and Gene will begin his talk at approximately 7:45.
