“The unique ecology of the Pottle Lake watershed acts as a natural filter for rain water,” says Jessome about the relationship between the forest and the lake that provides the Northside with clean, safe drinking water. She will be sharing plant identification skills for woodland flora and trees on Saturday.
Do you know where your tap water comes from? Watershed Walks are a series of exploratory hikes in the watersheds that supply CBRM tap water. These walks are designed not only to introduce us to our local water sources but to really get to know them. Each walk informs participants in field identification skills for plants and/or wildlife to enhance our connection to the source of the tap water we use every day.
