>Guide to Protecting and Restoring Our Watersheds. Brock will

>of conservation hydrology and low-impact development, emphasizing the 
>need for humandevelopment designs to move from drainage to retainage.

>The evening will open with the Surfrider Foundation's new short film

>The Cycle of Insanity can serve as a practical outline for those citizens

>commonsense solutions that illustrate how we can move toward
