The first weekend of fall brings yet another celebration/fundraiser for a local green group.
This one's for the Gunpowder Valley Conservancy, which for nearly 21 years has been working to preserve land and safeguard streams in the 450-square-mile watershed that furnishes 61 percent of the Baltimore region's drinking water. The Gunpowder River drains portions of Carroll, Baltimore and Harford counties, and even a bit of York County, PA.
The conservancy's putting on "An Evening in the Woods" Saturday (9/25) from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Camp Puh'Tok in Monkton. There'll be food, local wines, a silent auction and live music. Tickets are $65 each. For details, go here.
