Provided by  University of Maryland Extension

New! Brown Bag Series Hosted by UMD Extension

The University of Maryland Extension in Garrett County will host a series of lunchtime educational meetings beginning in February 2011. The round table forum will encourage open discussion of issues related to Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling. The video, Shale Gas and America's Future, produced by the American Clean Skies Foundation (an industry-based foundation), will be viewed and discussed during the February sessions.

February's forums are designed for those eager to gain a basic understanding of the potential environmental and economic impacts of the Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling process.

Feel free to bring your lunch to enjoy while watching the video.

Please contact Mikal Zimmerman at 301-334-6960 by February 18th to reserve a seat at your preferred location. Dates are subject to change due to inclement weather.
