SWAP/Annual Meeting: July 21st, 6:30 PM, Turner's Creek Pavilion
The beautiful Sassafras River rises in western Delaware and forms the natural boundary between Kent and Cecil Counties in Maryland before it empties into the upper Chesapeake Bay.
The Sassafras River watershed offers its residents and visitors unmatched opportunities for recreation, country living, and quiet contemplation.
But the news is not all good. Annual algae blooms in the upper Sassafras can be toxic to aquatic life, pets, and even humans. Beaches are closed because of harmful bacteria. Sediment-clouded water stifles the growth of life-giving underwater grasses. Shoreline and woodland erosion threaten the natural beauty of the River.
