Estuary Update!
Greetings to our entire estuary community. We send you our warmest regards and hope you are well as you receive this email. We are sharing these initiatives and actions carried out week after week. These activities, tips, and information are for the benefit of all.
June has arrived, marking the start of the 2021 hurricane season. Estuary reminds you of the importance of planning properly for your safety and the safety of your community.
Get ready for hurricane season
We encourage you to get organized and protect your loved ones this season. We're sharing the tools you need to prepare yourself and your community for a potential hurricane. Access the informational materials we'll be posting throughout the season on our Virtual Community Center . Look for the Estuary Community Hurricane Preparedness Guide today and watch an informational video on preparing emergency kits.
Weekly water quality monitoring
We present the results of the weekly water quality monitoring, carried out on Thursday, June 3, 2021. These are published every Friday on our Facebook page.
National Sidewalk Day
Tomorrow, Saturday, June 5, 2021, is National Trails Day . Trails contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and natural spaces. Using them can benefit your health. Walking or exercising on them helps reduce blood pressure, increase bone density, and reduce tension and anxiety.
The Estuary Urban Forest Network offers a wide variety of trails for you to explore. Visit our Urban Forest Network Passport page to learn more about them. Access each forest's profile for visiting hours and information. You can also get a printed Passport and collect punch cards at various locations throughout the Network.

These workshops aim to prepare you for the process of validating and documenting vulnerabilities that pose a risk to your community in the event of a natural or man-made disaster . They consist of an informational section, followed by a collaborative section where we will identify vulnerabilities in your geographic area with other members of the public.
These will be provided by Zoom. Enter the portal and choose your workshop today:
